Calculate the kinetic energy of a 1000 kg car moving at 4 meters per second
The formula to calculate kinetic energy is:
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2
Given:
Mass (m) = 1000 kg
Velocity (v) = 4 m/s
Plugging the values into the formula:
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * 1000 kg * (4 m/s)^2
= 1/2 * 1000 kg * 16 m^2/s^2
= 8,000 Joules
