Final answer:
Option A is answer. The kinetic energy of the car is 57440 J.
Step-by-step explanation:
The kinetic energy of an object is given by the equation KE = 0.5mv^2, where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the mass of the object, and v is its velocity.
In the given question, the mass of the car is 1400 kg and its speed is 28.8 m/s.
Calculating the kinetic energy using the equation: KE = 0.5 * 1400 * (28.8)^2 = 57440 J.
The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is given by the relation KE = 0.5 × mass × velocity2. Substituting the given values into this formula, we obtain KE = 0.5 × 1400 kg × (28.8 m/s)2 = 0.5 × 1400 × 829.44 = 579,648 Joules (J). Therefore, if we look at the provided options for the kinetic energy of a 1400 kg car moving at a speed of 28.8 m/s, we can see that none of the options exactly match the calculated value. However, Option 2: 57,440 J is the result of a misprint and should likely be 579,648 J, which is the correct kinetic energy of the car.
