Question

a car with a mass of 600 kg is traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s. how much kinetic energy does it have? the car has \boxed{} j of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Kinetic Energy Formula

The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is $KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$, where $m$ is mass and $v$ is velocity.

Step2: Substitute Values

Given $m = 600\ \text{kg}$ and $v = 10\ \text{m/s}$, substitute into the formula:
$KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 600 \times (10)^2$
First, calculate $(10)^2 = 100$. Then, $\frac{1}{2} \times 600 = 300$.
Multiply: $300 \times 100 = 30000$.

Answer:

30000
