1200 kg car is being driven down a road. If it has 101 kJ of kinetic energy, what is its speed?

Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

101,000 J = (1/2) (1200 kg) (speed)²

Speed²  = 101,000 J / 600 kg

Speed²  =  168 and 1/3  m²/s²

Speed = √(168 and 1/3  m²/s²)

Speed = 12.97 m/s

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.

mass = 0.3 kg.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
