Question

1. A racing car with the driver weighs 1825 lb. Find the kinetic energy in ft*lb when traveling with a speed of 100 mi/hr.

3. A mass of 5 kg initially at rest is given a speed of 14 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?

PLEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

1. 610,000 lb ft

2. 490 J

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, convert mi/hr to ft/s:

100 mi/hr × (5280 ft / mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 146.67 ft/s

Now find the kinetic energy:

KE = ½ mv²

KE = ½ (1825 lb / 32.2 ft/s²) (146.67 ft/s)²

KE = 610,000 lb ft

2. KE = ½ mv²

KE = ½ (5 kg) (14 m/s)²

KE = 490 J
