Given parameters:
Mass of object = 6.7kg
Velocity = 8m/s
Unknown parameter:
Kinetic energy = ?
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two forms of energy;
Kinetic and potential energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. Whereas, potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body usually at rest.
Kinetic energy is mathematically expressed as;
Kinetic energy = 
where m is the mass of the body
v is the velocity of the body
Since we have been given both mass and velocity, input the parameter to solve for the unknown;
Kinetic energy = 
x 6.7 x 8² = 214.4J
So the kinetic energy of the body is 214.4J
Answer:
She must stop the car before interception, distance traveled 12.66 m
Explanation:
We will take all units to the SI system
Vo = 48Km / h (1000m / 1Km) (1h / 3600s) = 13.33 m / s
V2 = 70 Km / h = 19.44 m / s
We calculate the distance traveled before stopping
X = Vo t + ½ to t²
Time is what it takes traffic light to turn red is t = 2.0 s
X = 13.33 2 + 1.2 (-7) 2²
X = 12.66 m
It stops car before reaching the traffic light turning to red
Let's analyze what happens if you accelerate, let's calculate the acceleration of the vehicle
V2 = Vo + a t2
a = (V2-Vo) / t2
a = (19.44-13.33) /6.6
a = 0.926 m / s2
This is the acceleration to try to pass the interception, now let's calculate the distance it travels in the time the traffic light changes from yellow to red (t = 2.0 s)
X = Vo t + ½ to t²
X = 13.33 2 + ½ 0.926 2²
X = 28.58 m
Since the vehicle was 30 m away, the interception does not happen
The answer is c: <span>1960 J
</span>Potential Energy :
<span>PE = m x g x h = 40*9.8*5=1960
