Kinetic energy = 1/2Mass x Velocity^2

KE = 1/2(1990) x (28^2)

KE = 995 x 784

KE = 780080 Joules

Kinetic energy


What is an example of kinetic energy as it applies to a vehicle?

Kinetic energy is extra energy resultant of motion. So, a moving vehicle has kinetic energy.


How do you show mathematically why a small increase in your vehicle's speed results in a tremendous increase in your vehicles kinetic energy?

The kinetic energy of a vehicle, of mass m kilograms and travelling at velocity v metres per second, is 1/2*m*v2.Using calculus, d(ke)/dv = m*v.That is, the kinetic energy (ke) increases by the product of the mass and the velocity. Whether or not that can be considered "tremendous" is another matter.The kinetic energy of a vehicle, of mass m kilograms and travelling at velocity v metres per second, is 1/2*m*v2.Using calculus, d(ke)/dv = m*v.That is, the kinetic energy (ke) increases by the product of the mass and the velocity.

What factors determine an object's kinetic energy?

Look at the equation for kinetic energy. It clearly shows that the kinetic energy depends on the object's mass, and its speed.


What does a vehicle's momentum depend on?

Kinetic Energy


Explain the factors that determine an object's kinetic energy?

There are two factors that determine and object's kinetic energy. The two main factors are mass and velocity.


Is it possible for humans to control Kinetic Energy?

YES ... When a car is moving, it has kinetic energy. If you apply the brakes, the vehicle will slow down and thus loose some of that kinetic energy. The energy that was kinetic from the fast moving vehicle is transferred into heat energy in the braking mechanism (the rotor disks and pads.)


How does kinetic affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at 60 mph?

The kinetic energy of the vehicle when it is travelling faster is four times as great. It the brakes apply the same retardation and the friction from the tires on the road surface is unchanged then the stopping time will be four times as long.


Does a flashlight battery have kinetic energy?

No, unless it is moving (e.g. you threw it, it is in a moving vehicle). Only moving objects have kinetic energy.


What is the amount of energy in a vehicle impact related to?

That depends on the weight of the vehicle(s) and how fast it (they) are travelling.


Is music potential energy?

If you are refering to the 'sound' that music produces, that's kinetic energy of the sound waves travelling though air.


If the same model plane travel 3 times faster than the same model airplane what is the kinetic energy of the faster plane?

The kinetic energy of an object varies as the square of its velocity (Kinetic energy = mv2/2). So a plane with the same mass travelling at 3 times the velocity will have 9 times the kinetic energy.
