Question

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1200 kg automobile moving at 18 m/s .

Answer 1

Answer:

194,400 joules of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Remember that to calculate the Kinetic energy you need to use the next formula:

$Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2$

We know that Mass= 1200 kg and velocity is 18m/s, so we insert those values into the formula:

$Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2\\Ke=\frac{1}{2}1200kg*(18m/s)^2\\Ke=194,400 joules$

So the kinetic energy of a car moving at 18m/s with a mass of 1200 kg would be 194,400 joules.

Answer 2

1/2(mass)(velocity)^2= has 194,400 Joules of Kinetic Energy
