a 250 kg second place race car chases the first place car at a speed of 100 m/s compute the kinetic energy of the second place race car and show your solution​

Sagot :

Answer:

5000J

Explanation:

Formula: KE = 1/2 x mv^2

Solution:  

KE = 1/2 x mv^2

KE = 1/2 x 250 x 100^2

KE = 250 x 10000 / 2

KE = 10000 / 2

KE = 5000

The unit for energy is Joules (J) so the kinetic energy of the car is 24500J
