A 10 kg toy roller-coaster car is 9 meters above the ground and moves at a speed 15 m/s. What is the total energy of the roller-coaster in kilo Joules(1 kJ=1000J)? Write the answer in 2 decimals.
MODELING REAL LIFE The kinetic energy
(in joules) of an object in motion is given by the
formula KE = mv², where m is the mass
(in kilograms) of the object and v is the velocity
(in meters per second). Solve the formula for v.
Then approximate the velocity of a 1200-kilogram
car that has 360,000 joules of kinetic energy.
Suppose one gallon of gasoline produces 1.1x108J of energy, and this energy is sufficient enough to operate a car for twenty miles. An aspirin tablet has a mass of 325 mg. If the aspirin could be converted completely to thermal energy, how many miles could the car go on a single aspirin tablet?
