E = 1/2 * m * v²

v = √(2 * E / m)

Answer:

Speed of the car is 8.49 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 450 kg

Kinetic energy of the car, E = 16256 J

We need to find the speed of the car. The kinetic energy of the car is given by :


E=(1)/(2)mv^2


v=\sqrt{(2E)/(m)}


v=\sqrt{(2* 16256\ J)/(450\ kg)}

v = 8.49 m/s

So, the speed of the car is 8.49 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
