Answer:

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

$k = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\$

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

$k = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times {4}^{2} \\ = 4 \times 16$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

a car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 65 km/h (18 m/s) in 12s. Find the distance the car travels during this time?

Vinil7 [7]

The car's speed was zero at the beginning of the 12 seconds,
and 18 m/s at the end of it. Since the acceleration was 'uniform'
during that time, the car's average speed was (1/2)(0 + 18) = 9 m/s.

12 seconds at an average speed of 9 m/s ==> (12 x 9) = 108 meters .

==========================================

That's the way I like to brain it out. If you prefer to use the formula,
the first problem you run into is: You need to remember the formula !

The formula is D = 1/2 a T²

   Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (time in seconds)²

   Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
    = (18 m/s) / (12 sec)
    = 1.5 m/s² .

Distance = (1/2 x 1.5 m/s²) x (12 sec)²
      =     (0.75 m/s²) x (144 sec²) = 108 meters .
