2. Determine the kinetic energy of a 1234 kg rollercoaster car that is running with a speed of 1 m/s? ​

Sagot :

[tex]\tt{\huge{\blue{Explanation:}}}[/tex]

The kinetic energy of a moving object is given by

[tex]\boxed{KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}}[/tex]

where:

KE = kinetic energy

m = mass

v = speed

[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]

Solving for the kinetic energy

[tex]KE = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^{2}[/tex]

[tex]KE = \dfrac{1}{2}(\text{1,234 kg})(\text{1 m/s})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{KE = \text{617 J}}[/tex]

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the rollercoaster car is 617 J.
