7500J

7500J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 600kg

Velocity = 5m/s

Unknown:

Original kinetic energy = ?

Final kinetic energy = ?

Work used = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy due to the motion of a body.

It can be solve mathematically using expression below;

K.E =
(1)/(2) m v²

where m is mass

v is velocity

original kinetic energy;

The car started at rest and v = 0, therefore K.E = 0

Final kinetic energy;

K.E =
(1)/(2) x 600 x 5² = 7500J

Work done:

Work done = Final K.E - Initial K.E = 7500 - 0 = 7500J
