Calculate the kinetic energy of a 1000 kg car traveling at 30 m/s, a typical speed on a
highway.

Respuesta :

The kinetic energy of the car is [tex]4.5\cdot 10^5 J[/tex]

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due its motion. It is given by

[tex]E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the car in this problem, we have:

m = 1000 kg is its mass

v = 30 m/s is its speed

Substituting into the equation, we find the kinetic energy of the car:

[tex]E_k = \frac{1}{2}(1000)(30)^2=4.5\cdot 10^5 J[/tex]
