Answer:
166,600J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy (K.E), which is the energy due to motion of a body, can be calculated by using the formula;
K.E = 1/2 × m × v²
Where;
K.E = kinetic energy (joules)
m = mass of body (kg)
v = speed or velocity (m/s)
According to this question, the mass of the roller coaster is 833.0 kg while its velocity/speed is 20.0m/s.
K.E = 1/2 × 833 × 20²
K.E = 1/2 × 833 × 400
K.E = 1/2 × 333200
K.E = 166,600
Therefore, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster car is 166,600J.
