Question

How much kinetic energy does an object have that is moving at a rate of 30 m/s and has a mass of 4000 kg ?

Answer 1

Answer:

K = 1800 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of the object, v = 30 m/s

Mass of the object, m = 4000 kg

We need to find the kinetic energy of the object. The formula for the kinetic energy is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4000\times 30^2\\\\K=1800000\\\\or\\\\K=1800\ kJ$

So, the required kinetic energy is equal to 1800 kJ.
