It’s measured in a reference frame that is usually the earth’s surface
<span>Let's convert the speed to m/s:
speed = (55 mph) (1609.3 m / mile) (1 hour / 3600 seconds)
speed = 24.59 m/s
Let's convert the mass to kilograms:
mass = (2135 lb) (0.45359 kg / lb)
mass = 968.4 kg
We can find the kinetic energy KE:
KE = (1/2) m v^2
KE = (1/2) (968.4 kg) (24.59 m/s)^2
KE = 292780 joules
The kinetic energy of the automobile is 292780 joules.</span>
The answer is 125 Joules
The first thing to take note of is the work equation: W=F×D
Since we already have our force and our distance that will help make this problem easier.
So, W=25*5
W=125
Therefore, our answer is 125 Joules since work is measured in joules
Hope this helped!! :)
