a vehicle of mass 300 kg is moving with a velocity of 27 km/h. it then increases its velocity to 36 km/h. calculate
i) the initial kinetic energy
ii) the gain in kinetic energy
please solve
tomorrow is my exam
please..................
i will mark it as brainlest
Answers
Initial velocity (u) = 27 km/h = 7.5 m/s
Mass of the vehicle (m) = 300 kg
Formula for kinetic energy =
i) initial kinetic energy =
Plugging the values:
Initial kinetic energy =
Initial kinetic energy = 8437.5 joules
ii) Now, the final velocity (v) = 36 km/hr = 10 m/s
Final kinetic energy =
Plugging the values:
Final kinetic energy =
Final kinetic energy = 15000 Joules
Gain in kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy
Gain in kinetic energy = 15000 - 8437.5
Gain in kinetic energy = 6562.5 Joules
Answer:
Initial velocity (u) = 27 km/h = 7.5 m/s
Mass of the vehicle (m) = 300 kg
Formula for kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mu^2

Initial kinetic energy = 8437.5 joules
ii) Now, the final velocity (v) = 36 km/hr = 10 m/s
Final kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Final kinetic energy = 15000 Joules
Gain in kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy
Gain in kinetic energy = 15000 - 8437.5
Gain in kinetic energy = 6562.5 Joules
