Question

A car travels at a speed of 41 meters/second using 756 joules of energy every second. Suppose we know that the car uses 52,700 joules of energy. Set up a calculation to find the number of meters the car travels with this amount of energy.

Answer 1

Answer: the car travels 2,870 meters with 52,700 joules of energy.

Explanation:

The given car uses 756 joules of energy every second. So, it would use x amount of energy to travel for t seconds. We know that the car uses 52,700 joules of energy. Let's find the time first.T = E ÷ P = 52,700 ÷ 756 = 70 seconds.

Now, we can calculate the distance covered by the car with this amount of energy.

Distance = Speed × Time = 41 m/s × 70 s = 2,870 meters.

Therefore, the car travels 2,870 meters with 52,700 joules of energy.
