A 80 kg student traveling in a car with a constant velocity has a kinetic energy of 1.5 x104 J What is the speedometer reading of the car in?

Kinetic energy = 1/2 M V2
1/2 (80) V2 = 15,000
V2 = 15,000/40 = 375
V = sqrt(375) = 19.365 meters/sec
If the student is enrolled at the Sorbonne or McGill, the speedometer reads 69.7 km/hr.
If the student goes to MIT or Univ. of Rochester, the speedometer reads 43.3 mph .

Why is it easier to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction if the object moves with a constant velocity?
if moving with constant velocity the only force to slow it down is kinetic friction; if it is accelerating velocity is not constant and an additional force is being applied.
What is the kinetic energy of a 25-kg toy car traveling at a constant velocity of 2ms?
The formula for kinetic energy is 1/2 x mass x speed squared. Just replace the mass and the velocity with the numbers. Since standard SI units are used, the answer will be in joules.
What is the kinetic energy of a bicyclewith mass 10 kg traveling at a velocity of 3ms?
The bike's kinetic energy is 45 joules.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
When the speed of body is doubled kinetic energy becomes?
If speed/velocity is doubled and mass remains constant, then kinetic energy becomes quadrupled.

What happens to an objects kinetic energy as its mass increases?
kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2 mv^2 that is, it is directly proportional to mass, assuming velocity to be constant and is directly proportional to square of velocity assuming mass to be constant.
A rotating fan blade has kinetic energy when rotating with constant angular velocity when the angular velocity is reduced to one third what will happen to the kinetic energy?
It will decrease by a factor 9.
What is the nature of graph between kinetic energy and mass when velocity is constant?
The graph is linear.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity what do you know about its acceleration?
"Acceleration" means change of velocity. If velocity is constant, then acceleration is zero.
What happens when kinetic energy is absorbed as an object moves toward the earth?
The kinetic energy increases as the velocity increases (KE = 1/2mv2) until terminal velocity is reached, at which point the velocity becomes constant, and kinetic energy will no longer increase. The potential energy and kinetic energy will be at equilibrium, where PE = -KE.
When the speed of body is doubled kinetic energy becomes?
If speed/velocity is doubled and mass remains constant, then kinetic energy becomes quadrupled.
Does mass or speed effect more on kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x velocity^2. Your answer should be velocity.
A dump truck a sports car and a bicycle are traveling at the same velocity's compare their kinetic energies?
the dump truck has the lowest kinetic the bike has the greatest becase of their mass
Which one of the following remains constant while throwing a ball upward-displacement or kinetic energy or acceleration or velocity?
displacement
