Given:
mass = 6 kg
velocity = 4 m/s
To find:
Kinetic energy of the cart = ?
Formula used:
Kinetic energy = [tex] \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} [/tex]
Where m = mass of the cart
v = velocity with which the cart is moving
Solution:
Kinetic energy of the moving cart is given by,
Kinetic energy = [tex] \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} [/tex]
Where m = mass of the cart
v = velocity with which the cart is moving
Kinetic energy =[tex] \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times \ 4 \times 4 [/tex]
Kinetic energy = 48 Joule
Thus, the kinetic energy of the moving cart is 48 Joule.
