A car has mass 1500 kg and is traveling at a speed of 35 miles/hour. what is its kinetic energy in joules? (Be sure to convert m

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Factor by which kinetic energy increase = 4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Mass of the car, v1 = 1500 kg

initial speed of car = 35 miles/h

$=\dfrac{35\times 1609.34}{3600}\ m/s$

= 15.64 m/s

Initial kinetic energy of the car is given by,

$k_1\ =\ \dfrac{1}{2}.m.v_1^2$

$=\ \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1500\times (15.64)^2\ joule$

= 183606.46 J

Final velocity of car v2 = 70 miles/hour

$=\dfrac{70\times 1609.34}{3600}$

= 31.29 m/s

So, final kinetic energy of car is given by

$k_2\ =\ \dfrac{1}{2}.m.v_2^2$

$=\ \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1500\times (31.29)^2$

= 734425.84 J

Now, the ratio of final to initial kinetic energy can be given by,

$\dfrac{k_2}{k_1}=\ \dfrac{734425.84}{183606.46}$

$=>\ k_2\ =\ 4k_1$

Hence, the kinetic energy will increase by 4 times.
