Asolar-powered car has a kinetic energy of 110250j. its mass is 180kg. work out how fast the car is travelling.

Velocity = v = 35 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of an object is defined as the energy possess by an object due to its motion. Kinetic energy K.E of an object is equal to the half of the mass of that object multiplied by square of the object's velocity.

Mathematically,

                                   v = 35 m/s

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
