Question

A 1500kg Ford pick up is traveling at 21m/s. What is the K.E?

Answer 1

The formula to calculate kinetic energy (K.E) is:

K.E = (1/2) * mass * velocity^2

Given:
Mass (m) = 1500 kg
Velocity (v) = 21 m/s

Substituting the values into the formula:

K.E = (1/2) * 1500 kg * (21 m/s)^2

K.E = (1/2) * 1500 kg * 441 m^2/s^2

K.E = 330,750 joules

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the 1500 kg Ford pick up traveling at 21 m/s is 330,750 joules.
