Q

Question : A car with a mass of 700 kg is moving with a speed of 20 m/s. Calculate the kinetic energy of the car with this formula 0.5 x m x v^2

A

0.5 x 700 x 20^2
= 140,000 J
140 000 / 1000
=140 kJ

Q

A cyclist and bike have a total mass of 100 kg and a speed of 15 m/s .Calculate the kinetic energy of the car with this formula 0.5 x m x v^2

A

0.5 x 100 x 15^2
= 11250 J
11 250/1000 kJ
= 11.25 kJ
