Answer:
Ek1 = 900000 [J]
Ek1 = 400000 [J]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must remember that kinetic energy is defined as the product of mass by velocity squared by a medium. Therefore using the following equation we have:
where:
m = mass = 500 [kg]
v1 = 60 [m/s]
So we have:
Ek1 = 0.5*500*(60^2)
Ek1 = 900000 [J]
and:
Ek2 = 0.5*500*(40^2)
Ek2 = 400000 [J]
A distance of d is covered with 53 mile/hr initially. Time taken to cover this distance t1 = d/53 hour Next distance of d is covered with x mile hours. Time taken to cover this distance t2 = d/x hours. We have average speed = 26.5 mile / hour
= Total distance traveled/ total time taken
=
