How fast would a 800 kg car be moving if it had the same kinetic energy as a 3 g meteor moving at a typical 40,000 m/s?
Added by Shawn M.
Step 1
The formula for kinetic energy is: Kinetic Energy = (1/2) * mass * velocity^2 Given: Mass of the meteor = 3 g = 0.003 kg Velocity of the meteor = 40,000 m/s Plugging in the values into the formula, we get: Kinetic Energy of the meteor = (1/2) * 0.003 kg * Show more…
