Answer:
KE=800,000
Explanation:
The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2mv^2 or Kinetic Energy= 0.5*mass*velocity^2
so 1000 is the mass and 40 is the velocity
KE=0.5*1000*40^2
KE=0.5*1,000*1,600
KE=800,000 Joules
In this question all required information's are already provided. Based on these details the answer to the question can be easily determined. Let us now write down all the information's that are already given.
Mass of the roller coaster = 1000 kg
Velocity of the roller coaster = 20.0 m/s
We know the formula for finding the kinetic energy is
Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity) ^2
= 0.5 * 1000 * (20)^2
= 0.5 * 1000 * 400
= 200000 Joules
So the Kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 joules.
i hope this helps you friend good luck on your quiz or lesson
The horizontal speed is going to be the cosine of the given speed, therefore, the horizontal speed is 19.15 m/s. To find the time, divide the 22 m distance by the velocity. This results in 1.131 seconds, which is in between C and D.
