Question
The kinetic energy E of a rocket of mass m, traveling at velocity v is given by the
formula
E
=
//mv²
Suppose a rocket having mass m =2.0 is changing velocity over time, and velocity at
time t is v(t) = 2.5t² -2.6t. Assuming the mass of the rocket remains constant,
what is the kinetic energy when t = 1.5?
Enter the answer as a decimal number. Round to two decimal places (as needed).
