1. K=1.6•10⁶J

2 K=2.7•10⁶

3. m=0.1kg

Fletcher Hampton · Answer 2

1. K=1.6•10⁶J

2 K=2.7•10⁶

3. m=0.1kg

Explanation:

1. m=2000 kg

speed=40 m/s

K=½mv²

K=½ (2000•1600) J=1.6 10⁶ J

2. speed=35m/s

m=4500 kg

K=½ (4500•1225) = 2.7•10⁶

3. K=12,500J

speed=15 m/s

m=2K/v²

m = 25,000J/225m²/s²=0.1 kg
