An 8000-N car is moving at 12 m/s along a horizontal road. The driver applies the breaks and the car skids to a stop. How much kinetic energy is lost? Group of answer choices 4.8*104 J 4.8*106 J 5.8*105 J 5.9*104 J 1.2*105 J

Respuesta :

58775.51 J kinetic energy is lost,

Energy lost = 0.5*mv²

= 0.5*8000/9.8 * 12*12

= 58775.51 J

To calculate the energy loss of a moving object, subtract the initial kinetic energy from the final kinetic energy, where the initial and final kinetic energies are calculated using the formula 1/2*M*V^2.

When energy is transformed from one form to another or moved from one area to any other, or from one device to another there's energy loss. This means whilst energy is converted to a different form, some of the entering energy is become an especially disordered form of energy, like heat.
