Respuesta :

Ec₁=mv₁²/2=450*26²/2=225*676=152100 J

Ecā‚‚=mv₂²/2=450*30²/2=225*900=202500 J

Ī”Ec=Ecā‚‚-Ec₁=202500-152100=50.4 kJ

The difference in the kinetic energy of the automobile is 50400 J.

To answer the question, we shall determine the kinetic energy of the automobile in each case. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Case 1:

Mass (m) = 450 Kg

Velocity (v₁) = 26 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE₁) =?

KE₁ = ½mv₁²

KE₁ = ½ Ɨ 450 Ɨ 26²

KE₁ = 225 Ɨ 676

KE₁ = 152100 J

Case 2:

Mass (m) = 450 Kg

Velocity (vā‚‚) = 30 m/s

Kinetic energy (KEā‚‚) =?

KEā‚‚ = ½mv₂²

KEā‚‚ = ½ Ɨ 450 Ɨ 30²

KEā‚‚ = 225 Ɨ 900

KEā‚‚ = 202500 J

Finally, we shall determine the difference in the kinetic energy of the automobile. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Kinetic energy of case 1 (KE₁) = 152100 J

Kinetic energy of case 2 (KEā‚‚) = 202500 J

Difference =?

Difference = KEā‚‚ – KE₁

Difference = 202500 – 152100

Difference = 50400 J

Therefore, the difference in the kinetic energy of the automobile is 50400 J
