A truck mass 8000 kg and a car a mass 1000
kg are travelling at the same velocity. Which one has greater kinetic energy ? Why?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

K.E of truck > K.E of car

Explanation:

Mass of the truck = 8000Kg

K.E=[tex]\frac{1}{2} mv[/tex]

K.E =[tex]\frac{1}{2}*8000*v\\ 4000v[/tex]

Mass of the car = 1000 Kg

K.E of the car =[tex]\frac{1}{2}*1000*v\\ 500v[/tex]

Therefore Kinetic energy of the truck is greater than that of the car
