When exiting the highway, a 1100-kg car is traveling at 22 m/s. the car's kinetic energy decreases by 1.4×105j the exit speed limit is 35 mi/h.?

Respuesta :

I think you want to determine the exit speed?

You have to determine how much velocity was decreased by calculating it from the kinetic energy.

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

[tex]1.4 x 10^{5}= \frac{1}{2} (1100) v^{2} [/tex]

[tex] v^{2} =254.55[/tex]

[tex]v = 15.95 m/s[/tex]

So the velocity reduces by 15.95 m/s. Subtracting this to the initial velocity: 22 - 15.95 = 6.05 m/s.

So, the final speed was 6.05 m/s.

I hope I was able to help :)
