A 0.05-kg car starts from rest at a height of 0.95 m. Assuming no friction, what is the kinetic energy of the car when it reaches the bottom of the hill? (Assume g = 9.81 m/s2.) i dont understand can i get some help?

Correct Answer: A. 0.466 J Explanation: If there is no friction, all of the gravitational potential energy of the car at the top of the hill will be converted to kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. The potential energy of the car is equal to the product of its mass, height, and gravitational acceleration.0.05 kg • 0.95 m • 9.81 m/s2 = 0.466 J.
