Answer:
b. 600,000 J
Explanation:
Applying the law of conservation of energy,
The thermal energy created = Kinetic energy of the suv.
Q' = 1/2(mv²)............... Equation 1
Where Q' = Thermal energy, m = mass of the suv, v = velocity of the suv.
From the question,
Given: m = 3000 kg, v = 20 m/s
Substitute these values into equation 1
Q' = 1/2(3000×20²)
Q' = 600000 J
Hence the right option is b. 600,000 J
