Hi there currently I am stuck on a question, A car with a mass of 1.2 tonnes, rolls down a hill which is 600m long and is inclined at an angle of 9 degrees to the horizontal. Ignoring the effects of air resistance and friction and assuming the car to start from rest at the top of the hill calculate:
Its speed as it reaches the bottom of the hill.
Its acceleration down the hill
The time taken for it to reach the bottom of the hill.
The part that I am having the difficulty with is the speed as it reaches the bottom of the hill, I've looked over and over and can't find anything on it. does anyone know a formula for this? or a way to calculate it?
Many thanks Tom
