K.E = 1/mv2, where m is mass in kg and v is speed in m/s. By pressing down on the gas pedal, the speed of the car will increase, which will increase its kinetic energy. Note: Even though the symbol v is used in the equation, it represents speed and not velocity (speed and direction). Kinetic energy is not a vector quantity.

Will pushing on a car always change the cars mechanical energy what must happen for the cars kinetic energy to increase?

Pushing on a car will not always change its mechanical energy. For the car's kinetic energy to increase, there must be a net force acting on the car in the direction of motion, allowing it to accelerate and gain speed. This change in kinetic energy is a result of the work done on the car by the applied force.


What kid of energy is converted into kinetic energy in bumper cars?

The electrical energy supplied to the bumper cars is converted into kinetic energy when the cars move or collide. This kinetic energy is responsible for their motion and the bouncing effect that occurs when they bump into each other.


Do bumper cars have kinetic energy?

yes, anything that moves and has mass has kinetic energy.


What use kinetic energy?

every country uses kinetic energy because kinetic energy is movement. For instance: cars, toasters, merry-go-rounds etc.


Can two cars of different mass have the same kinetic energy?

Yes, two cars of different mass can have the same kinetic energy if they are moving at the same speed. Kinetic energy is dependent on both mass and speed, so if the speeds are equal, the kinetic energy will be the same regardless of the mass.


Can two moving cars of different mass have the same kinetic energy?

Yes, two moving cars of different mass can have the same kinetic energy if they are moving at the same speed. Kinetic energy depends on both mass and velocity, so as long as the cars are moving with the same speed, their kinetic energies will be equal regardless of their masses.


What kinds of energy do hybrid cars use?

Electric energy aka Kinetic Energy.


Where is the kinetic energy the highest on a roller coaster?

The cars of a roller coaster reach their maximum kinetic energy when at the bottom of their path.


What car does the convertion of chemical energy into kinetic energy?

All cars do so.


How does an elastic power car work?

Elastic cars work by converting elastic potential energy into kinetic energy. The most potential energy, the more kinetic energy.


What are all of the energies in potential energy for your car?

nopes for our cars need kinetic energy


Do cars use energy?

Yes. A car converts the chemical energy in gasoline to kinetic energy of motion.More than 65% of the energy in the gasoline is wasted, and never becomes kinetic energy.
