We'll assume that the 5,000 joules represents all Kinetic Energy of the car's motion,

and there's no potential energy, energy stored in the battery, or gas-in-the -tank

energy included in that number.

Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (m) (V2)

V2 = 2 KE / m

V = sqrt( 2 KE / m ) = sqrt( 10,000 / 400 ) = sqrt(25) = 5 meters per second

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity squared

KE = 1/2mV2

KE = 1/2(500 kg)(5 m/s)

= 6250 Joules

An object with a mass of 21 kg is lifted through a distance of 7 meters how much work is done?

Work = (force) x (distance) = 7 x 2.4 = 16.8 joules


How many joules of energy would the Death Star's primary weapon have to generate in order to overcome the gravity holding together an earth-sized planet in order to blow that planet apart?

400 Octillion Joules. (400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) It's not really a fair question, however. The Death Star, as depicted in the Star Wars movies, is grossly overpowered for its purpose. It would take a tiny fraction of that energy to simply vaporize the surface and wipe out all life. Okay, I admit I did not actually calculate the energy required to vaporize a planet. I simply assumed that the energy output of a Sun like star would be sufficient if it were all turned on puny little Alderaan (or Earth). The Sun outputs 400 Octillion Joules / second.


What is the kinetic energy of an object that has a mass of 30 kilograms and moves with a velocity of 20 miles per second?

Ek = 1/2*m*v^2, where Ek is kinetic energy, m is mass, and v is velocity. Therefore, 1/2*20*2^2 = 40 Joules.The formula Ek =1/2*m*v^2 can be used for any point mass, that is, a mass that is small enough that it can be considered to have all its mass in one point, or a solid object that is not rotating.


What is the kinetic energy of a 10 kg bike that is moving at a velocity of 20.0 meters per second?

KE = 1/2mass velocity squared KE = 1/2mV^2 80 J = 1/2(10 kg)V^2 multiply through by 2 160 = 10V^2 divide by 10, both sides 16 = V^2 take square root each side and discard negative answer Velocity = 4 m/s

What is kinetic energy of a 2000-kg car moving at 20 ms?

kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2, our velocity is 20 m/s , our mass is 2000 kg. Plugging it in you get 1/2 (2000) (400) = 1000 * 400 = 400000 joules


A pendulum has a mass of 15kg and its kinetic energy is 400 joules at the base of the swing what is the pendulums velocity?

The kinetic energy E of a body with mass m and velocity v is defined as E = mv2/2 You can write this formula as v2 = 2E/m So to obtain the velocity of the object at the base of the swing, take the square root of 2E/m.

What is the kinetic energy of a 2000 kg bus that is moving at 25m?

kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2, our velocity is 20 m/s , our mass is 2000 kg. Plugging it in you get 1/2 (2000) (400) = 1000 * 400 = 400000 joules


What type of energy is contained in a moving bullet?

velocity Kinetic energy is equal to (1/2)mv2, where m is mass and v is velocity. Higher velocities contribute even more to higher kinetic energies than higher masses since velocity is squared in the equation. For comparison, a 6.35 kg bowling ball moving at 7.6 m/s will have a kinetic energy of 183.4 Joules. A 0.02 kg bullet moving at 200 m/s will have a kinetic energy of 400 Joules. (Increase that to 300 m/s, and the kinetic energy moves up to 900 Joules.)

How much energy is required in changing the velocity of an object of mass 5000kg from 20ms to 30ms?

Initial kinetic energy = 1/2 M Vi2 Final kinetic energy = 1/2 M Vf2 Difference = 1/2 M (Vf2 - Vi2) = 2,500(302 - 202) = 2,500(900 - 400) = 2,500 x 500 = 1,250,000 joules
