A 20,000-kg truck is moving at 110 km/h. An 80.0-kg astronaut is in orbit moving at 27,500 km/h. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the truck (in units of J)?

A 20,000-kg truck is moving at 110 km/h. An 80.0-kg astronaut is in orbit moving at 27,500 km/h. (c) Compare the astronaut's kinetic energy (KA) with the truck's kinetic energy (KT) [i.e. find the ratio KA/KT]. In other words, how many times greater is the astronaut's kinetic energy than the truck's kinetic energy?
