A 1500 Kg automobile is traveling at a velocity of 100 m/s. Is its energy potential or kinetic? How much energy does it possess? (Remember to convert kg to g)

1.) Kinetic energy

2.) K. E = 7500000000 J

Explanation: Given that a 1500 Kg automobile is traveling at a velocity of 100 m/s.

An object possesses maximum potential energy when it is at rest

And maximum kinetic energy on motion. Since the automobile is travelling with a speed of 100 m/s, its energy is kinetic.

The amount of energy possessed, will be achieved by using formula

K. E = 1/2MV^2

Where

M = 1500kg

To convert it to g, multiply it by 1000

M = 1500 * 1000 = 1500000

V = 100 m/s

K. E = 1/2 * 1500000 * 100^2

K. E = 0.5 * 1500000 * 10000

K. E = 7500000000 J
