A 1451 kg car is traveling at 48.0 km/h. How much kinetic energy does it possess? K.E. =

1 answer:

8 0

   Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second. So we'll have to
make that conversion.

KE = (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²

   = (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)² (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²

   = (725.5) · ( 40/3 )² · ( kg·m² / sec²)

   = 128,978 joules (rounded)

How do the densities of the jovian and terrestrial planets compare?

timofeeve [1]

Hello

The jovian density is $1.33~g/cm^3$ , while the density of terrestrial planets is much higher. For instance, the earth's density is $5.51~g/cm^3$ . The reason of this difference is in the different chemical composition: while jupiter is made of gas (mainly hydrogen), with lower density, while the terrestrial planets are made of solid and liquid, with compounds of higher density.
