A 2,000 kg freight train is traveling on the railroad tracks from Birmingham to Mobile. It traveling at a speed of 25 m/sec. What is the kinetic energy of this train?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is "625,000 J".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass,

m = 2,000 kg

Speed,

v = 25 m/sec

As we know,

⇒  [tex]Kinetic \ energy=\frac{1}{2} (mass \times speed^2)[/tex]

Or,

⇒  [tex]K.E=\frac{1}{2}(mv^2)[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒          [tex]=\frac{1}{2}(2,000\times 25^2)[/tex]

⇒          [tex]=1000\times 625[/tex]

⇒          [tex]=625,000 \ J[/tex]
