Answer: 5937.5 joules
Explanation:
kinetic energy of car K.E = ?
Mass of car M= 475kg
speed of car V = 5m/s
The Kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the moving object, and it depends on its mass and speed.
Thus, K.E = 1/2 x mass x velocity^2
K.E = 1/2 x 475kg x (5m/s)^2
K.E = 0.5 x 475 x 25
K.E = 5937.5 joules
Thus, the kinetic energy of a car is 5937.5 joules
