A 1350 kg car travels at 12 m/s. What is it's kinetic energy

Answer 1

Hello!

A 1350 kg car travels at 12 m/s. What is it's kinetic energy ?

We have the following data:  

m (mass) = 1350 kg  

v (velocity) = 12 m/s  

KE (kinetic Energy) = ? (in Joule)  

Formula to calculate kinetic energy:

$\boxed{KE = \dfrac{1}{2} *m*v^2}$

Solving:

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2} *m*v^2$

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2} *1350*12^2$

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2} *1350*144$

$KE = \dfrac{194400}{2}$

$\boxed{\boxed{KE = 97200\:Joule}}\:or\:\boxed{\boxed{KE = 97.2\:kJ}}\Longleftarrow(kinetic\:energy)\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\blue{\checkmark}$

Answer 2

KE = 1/2(m * v^2)

KE = 1/2(1350 * 12^2)
KE = 1/2(1350 * 144)
KE = 1/2(194,400)
KE = 97,200 Joules
