Question

31) If the car is traveling at 60.0 mph and weighs 2250 Ibs, what is the kinetic energy in Joules

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You'll have to convert from SAE units to SI units

60 mi/hr = 26.822 m/s

2250 lbs = 1020.583 kg

Kinetic energy = 1/2 m * v^2

= 1/2 (1020.583 kg) * ( 26.822 m/s)^2 = 367 114 Joules
