Answer: 30000 joules
Explanation:
Mass of car = 600kg
Velocity of car = 10m/s
Kinetic energy = ?
Recall that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on its mass M and velocity, V
Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2
= 1/2 x 600kg x (10m/s)^2
= 0.5 x 600kg x (10m/s)^2
= 300 x (10m/s)^2
= 300 x 100
= 30000 joules
Thus, the car travels with a kinetic energy of 30000 joules
The car has 30,000 J of kinetic energy.
