<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>

Which has greater kinetic energy, a car traveling at 30 km/HR or a car of half the mass traveling at 60 km/HR? a. The 60 km/HR c
artcher [175]

Answer:

a.The 60 km/HR car

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This can be defined as the energy of a body due to motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J).

It can be expressed mathematically as

Ek = 1/2mv²......................... Equation 1

Where Ek = kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity.

(i) A car travelling at 30 km/hr, with a mass of m,

Ek = 1/2(m)(30)²

Ek = 450m J.

(ii) A car travelling at 60 km/hr, with a mass of m/2

Ek = 1/2(m/2)(60)²

Ek = 900m J.

Thus , the car travelling at 60 km/hr at half mass has a greater kinetic energy to the car traveling at 30 km/hr at full mass.

The right option is a.The 60 km/HR car
