One thing you should notice. It is kind of weird. Ke has no direction so that fact that it has velocities associated with it does not matter. It becomes a scaler (something measured by amount alone).

General Formula
Ke = 1/2 m v^2
Formula for this problem
Ke = 1/2 m (v2)^2 - 1/2 m (v1)^2

Givens
m = 1200 kg
v2 = 100 km/hr = 100 km/h * [1 hour / 3600 sec] * [1000 m/ 1km] = 27.8 m/s
v1 = 50 km / hr = 13.9 m/s

Substitution and work.
================
delta Ke = 1/2 1200 (27.8)^2 - 1/2 1200 (13.9)^2
delta Ke = 463704 - 115926
delta Ke = 34778 Joules
delta Ke = 34.8 kJ

The change is 34.8 kJ which means that the vehicle gains 34.8 kJ

If equal force were applied to a basketball and a baseball which would travel further according to newtons 2nd law of motion
SashulF [63]
Most likely the baseball because it weighs less therefore with the same force it will go further due to the fact it weighs less it would be easier to apply force and the less it weighs there is also less force acting upon it.

In which type of Eclipse do u see the Sun in the form of a ring
Helga [31]
The type of eclipse in which one sees the sun in the form of a ring is ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE.  
Solar eclipse occurs when the moon casts a shadow on the earth.
There are three basic types of solar eclipse, these are total, partial and annular solar eclipse. The annular solar eclipse occurs when the moon covers the sun's center thereby leaving the sun visible outer edges to form a ring of fire around the moon.<span />

Resistance is seen as part of ______________--- how a person understands his or her being and relationship to the world at large
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The self and world construct

Explanation:

in physics

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). Ohms are named after Georg Simon Ohm (1784-1854), a German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.

Self psychology views resistances as protecting a vulnerable self. Resistances are seen as efforts to maintain levels of organization that patients have achieved within the context of their traumatic life situation.

Which statement is true for two pieces of iron at the same temperature ? A. The total kinetic energy of their particles is equal
statuscvo [17]

The complete options are;

A. The average kinetic energy of their particles is the same.

B. The total kinetic energy of their particles is equal.

C. Heat flows from the larger object to the smaller object.

D. Heat flows from the object with higher potential energy to the object with lower potential energy.

Answer:

Explanation:

From the relationship between average kinetic energy and temperature, we have the formula;

E_k = (3/2)kT

Where;

k is a constant known as boltzmann constant.

T is known as temperature

We can see that at the same temperature (T), kinetic energy will remain the same because from the formula, E_k depends km only the temperature.

Thus, average kinetic energy of their particles saying that.
