Question

Calculate the kinetic energy of a Cheetoh truck (yum) that has a mass of 290kg and is moving at 30m/s

Answer 1

The Kinetic energy of the Cheeto truck = 130,500 J

Explanation:

The Formula for Kinetic energy is

K.E = 1/2 x M x V^2

So in this Situation Mass(M) is 290kg

Velocity (V) is 30 m/s

Inputting these values into our equation gives us

K.E = 1/2 x 290 x 30^2

30 times 30 = 900

So K.E = 1/2 x 290 x 900

Simplifing this we get : K.E = 290 x 450

So K.E = 130,500 Kgm^2/s^2

Now the unit's Kgm^2/s^2 scientific name is Joule and symbol (J).

So K.E = 130,500 J

P.S: Oh man, now I have a craving for some Cheetos!
