A roller coaster uses a motor to take a car to the top of its first hill. The roller coaster then travels down a 35 meter hill and to the top of the next hill. It travels with a speed of 15 m/s at the top of the second hill.
How high is the second hill? Assume no energy is lost to friction and the coaster starts from rest at the top of the first hill.
12.5 m
24 m
34 m
This cannot be determined without the mass of the car.

In July 1971, Apollo 15 astronaut Dave Scott performed an experiment on the Moon. Scott held a feather and a hammer at the same height, and let them drop at exactly the same time. Both fell at the same rate and hit the ground at the same time.
Which of the following is true about the relationship between the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy of the hammer?
The kinetic energy + gravitational potential energy stays the same at all times.
The kinetic energy and potential energy are the same as each other at all times.
The kinetic energy at time 1 is equal to the gravitational potential energy at time 1.
The kinetic energy at time 3 is equal to the gravitational potential energy at time 3.
