Answer:
The change in kinetic energy (KE) of the car is more in the second case.
Explanation:
Let the mass of the car = m
initial velocity of the first case, u = 22 km/h = 6.11 m/s
final velocity of the first case, v = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s
change in kinetic energy (K.E) = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)
ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(8.89² - 6.11²)
= 20.85m J
initial velocity of the second case, u = 32 km/h = 8.89 m/s
final velocity of the second case, v = 42 km/h = 11.67 m/s
change in kinetic energy (K.E) = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)
ΔK.E = ¹/₂m(11.67² - 8.89²)
= 28.58m J
The change in kinetic energy (KE) of the car is more in the second case.
