Question
If Mike's friends push Jason for a certain distance and get him going at the same speed as Mike, but Jason and his chair have a total mass of twice Mike and his chair, how far up the ramp will Jason go, in comparison to how high Mike would go?"> The correct answer choice is C) Jason will go up just as far as Mike.
> It is because mass doesn't matter, but why does mass not matter? Think of it in terms of energy and get back to me!
Can someone please explain why this is the answer in terms of energy?

Explanation / Answer
Yes travelled distance does not depend on mass. Because when you gave them same velocity then think in this way the heigher mass need more enrgy to have same speed so mike's friend gave jason more energy so that it could achieve same velocity as jason. Now you are thinking that one has more enrgy than other but energy decresing rate is heigher with heigher mass beacuse if mass is high friction force will act more because it depends on mass so overall you will get same distance. That's why we take only velcoity and accleration in distance measurement. according to newton's law total travelled distance does not depend upon mass
