The formula to calculate kinetic energy is:
K.E. = 1/2 m v2
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2
First, we need to determine the mass of the motorcycle. Let's assume it is 200 kg.
Given:
Velocity = 25.5 m/s
Mass = 200 kg
Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * 200 kg * (25.5 m/s)^2
Now let's calculate the final result:
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * 200 kg * (650.25 m^2/s^2)
Kinetic Energy = 65025 J
Therefore, the kinetic energy of the motorcycle is 65025 Joules.
