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]
