Question 8 of 35
A car has a mass of 1000 kg and is travelling at a speed of 26 m/s. Calculate the kinetic energy of the
car. Use the word equation below to help you.
kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x (speed)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

338,000 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

[tex]k = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\[/tex]

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

[tex]k = \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times {26}^{2} \\ = 500 \times 676 \\ = 338000[/tex]

We have the final answer as

338,000 J

Hope this helps you
