Answer:

K =400000 J

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

Is the energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

[tex]\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

The car has a mass of m=2000 Kg and travels at v=20 m/s. Calculating the kinetic energy:

[tex]\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}2000*20^2[/tex]

Calculating:

K =400000 J
