Answer:
K_A = 32.2 10⁶ J
Explanation:
In this exercise we must relate the quantities given to find the kinetic energy
Asteroid A data
m_A = 3.5 m_B
v_A = 2.0 v
they also give the value of the kinetic energy of asteroid A
K_B = 2.3 10⁶ J
the expression for scientific energy is
K = ½ m v²
let’s replace
K_A = ½ m_a V_a2
K_A = ½ 3.5 m_B (2.0 v_B)^2
K_A = 3.5 2² (½ m_B v_B²)
K_A = 14 K_B
K_A = 32.2 10⁶ J
