Question

Bike is traveling with a velocity of 22 m/s and has a mass of 25 kg. How much kinetic

energy does the bike have? PSc. 3.1.2

Answer 1

Answer: 12,100 Joules of Kinetic Energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is a measure of how much energy something has because it's moving. To calculate the kinetic energy of a bike, you need to know how heavy it is and how fast it's going. We use a formula that looks like this:

(1/2) x the weight of the bike (in kilograms) x the speed of the bike (in meters per second) x the speed of the bike (in meters per second)

So if we have a bike that weighs 25 kilograms and is going 22 meters per second, we can plug those numbers into the formula like this:

(1/2) x 25 x 22 x 22

And we find out that the bike has 12,100 Joules of kinetic energy.
