In a game, a toy car, which is initially stationary, slides down a slope. The top of the slope is 2.0 m higher than the foot of the slope. Determine how fast the car will be moving when it reaches the foot. (Assume that all of its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy). (Take g=10 ms-2).
