Answer:

1235.5J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 2413kg

Speed of car = 32m/s

Unknown:

Amount of kinetic energy it has = ?

Solution:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body;

Kinetic energy =
(1)/(2) m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

Now insert the parameters;

Kinetic energy =
(1)/(2) x 2413 x 32² = 1235.5J
