Question

PLS HELP ME Which object has the greatest kinetic energy?

A: a truck with a mass of 3,500 kg moving at 30 m/s

B: a person with a mass of 73 kg running 6 m/s

C: a locomotive engine with a mass of 205,000 kg moving 5 m/s

D: a fast pitched baseball with a mass of .5 kg moving at 46.9 m/s

Answer 1

answer

A locomotive engine with a mad of 205000kg moving with 5m/s

Explanation:

$from \: the \: options \: substitute \: the \: formulars \: for \: kinetic \: energy \\ for \: opton \: a \: ke = \frac{1}{2} mv {}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 3500 \times 30 {}^{2} = 1575000 \\ for \: option \: b \: ke = \frac{1}{2} mv {}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 73 \times 6 {}^{2} = 1314 \\ for \: option \: \: c = \frac{1}{2}mv {}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 205000 \times 5 {}^{2} = 2562500 \\ for \: option \: d \: = \frac{1}{2}mv {}^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.5 \times(46.9) {}^{2} = 549.9025 \\ from \: the \: analysis \: above \: the \: options \: that \: has \: the \: highest \: kinetic \: energy \: is \: a \: locomotive \: engine \: with \: a \: mass \: of \: 205000kg \: moving \: with \: a \: velocity \: of \: 5 \frac{m}{s}$
