<span>Let's convert the speed to m/s:
speed = (55 mph) (1609.3 m / mile) (1 hour / 3600 seconds)
speed = 24.59 m/s
Let's convert the mass to kilograms:
mass = (2135 lb) (0.45359 kg / lb)
mass = 968.4 kg
We can find the kinetic energy KE:
KE = (1/2) m v^2
KE = (1/2) (968.4 kg) (24.59 m/s)^2
KE = 292780 joules
The kinetic energy of the automobile is 292780 joules.</span>
Answer:
I think they use it at night because they want to avoid involving themselves in road accident while crossing the street. When there are reflective strips on their clothes, drivers do notice them even at far ends of the street since the strips will reflect the rays from the car lights to the driver,hence, the driver notifies that there is a pedestrian crossing and therefore slows down.
