The initial kinetic energy of the car is
Then, the velocity of the car is decreased by half:
so, the new kinetic energy is
So, the new kinetic energy is 1/4 of the initial kinetic energy of the car. Numerically:
Answer:
Explanation:
The change in kinetic energy will be simply the difference between the final and initial kinetic energies:
We know that the formula for the kinetic energy for an object is:
where <em>m </em>is the mass of the object and <em>v</em> its velocity.
For our case then we have:
Which for our values is:
Dinosaurs but I need the whole groups yo tell you ;)
