Answer:

490,400 J

Explanation:

Mass of first car, m = 1000 kg

Mass of second car, M = 1200 kg

velocity of first car, u = 20 m/s east

velocity of second car, U = 22 m/s west

The formula for the kinetic energy is

k = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

where, m is the body and v be the velocity of the body.

Total kinetic energy is given by

k = \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}+\frac{1}{2}MU^{2}

k = \frac{1}{2}\times1000\times20^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times1200\times22^{2}

k = 200000 + 290400

k = 490,400 J

Thus, the total kinetic energy of the system is 490,400 J.

NO LINKS PLEASE. brainly to the best answer.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment.

Both energies are related to motion.
