Answer:
0 J is left (No amount of the original 35000 J energy is left)
Explanation:
From the question
Kinetic Energy (K.E) = 1/2mv²................... Equation 1
Where m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car.
make m the subject of the equation.
m = 2K.E/v²..................... Equation 2
Given: K.E = 35000 Joules, v = 120 km/h = (120×3600/1000) = 432 m/s
Substitute these values into equation 2
m = (2×35000)/432²
m = 0.375 kg.
If a brake is suddenly apply,
Then, the velocity of the car = 0 m/s.
Therefore,
K.E = 1/2(0.375×0²)
K.E = 0 J.
From the baove analysis, No amount of the original 35000 J energy is left.
