2m/s^2, this is because F=ma, meaning a is also equal to F/m. The car applies 1500N in one direction and outside sources apply a total of -500N, meaning the 500kg car is moving forward with a total of 1000N of force. Taking the total 1000N and dividing it by 500kg gives you and acceleration of 2m/s^2. Hope this helps!
Answer:
<em>K =400000 J</em>
Explanation:
<u>Kinetic Energy</u>
Is the energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.
The equation for the kinetic energy is:
Where:
m = mass of the object
v = speed at which the object moves
The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)
The car has a mass of m=2000 Kg and travels at v=20 m/s. Calculating the kinetic energy:
Calculating:
K =400000 J
Answer:
Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.
Explanation:
In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.
While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.
Hence, option B is correct
