To find the difference in kinetic energy between the two speeds, we can use the equation:
ΔKE = KE2 - KE1
First, we calculate the kinetic energy at 16 mph (7.1 m/s):
KE2 = 12 * 6 * (7.1)^2
Next, we calculate the kinetic energy at 14 mph (6.2 m/s):
KE1 = 12 * 6 * (6.2)^2
Finally, we subtract the two results to find the difference:
ΔKE = KE2 - KE1
Calculating the values:
KE2 = 12 * 6 * (7.1)^2 = 3011.44 J
KE1 = 12 * 6 * (6.2)^2 = 2470.88 J
ΔKE = 3011.44 J - 2470.88 J = 540.56 J
Therefore, the difference in kinetic energy is 540.56 J.
