Question

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1500 kg automobile moving at 11 m/s .

Answer 1

For questions like this there are only a couple of possible equations you need to look at :)

In this case the equation for Kinetic energy (energy of motion) is:


`K_(E) = (0.5*m) * v^2`

Simply plug in the mass and velocity variable given in the question and you have your answer :)
