Answer:
30 km/h car
Step-by-step explanation:
From analysis the car traveling at 30 km/h has greater kinetic energy
we can deduce it from the expression of kinetic energy which is
[tex]KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]
Assuming the mass m= 1 kg
For the 30 km/h
[tex]KE=\frac{1}{2}*1*30^2 \\\\KE=\frac{1}{2}*1*900\\\\\KE=450 J[/tex]
For the 15 km/h
[tex]KE=\frac{1}{2}*2*15^2 \\\\ KE=\frac{1}{2}*2*225 \\\\\ KE=\frac{1}{2}*450 J\\\\\ KE=225 J[/tex]
Though the kinetic energy is a function of mass and velocity, but from our analysis the faster moving object has more KE
