Given :
Mass of roller coaster, m = 1000 kg.
Speed with which roller coaster is moving, v = 20.0 m/s.
To Find :
The kinetic energy if roller coaster.
Solution :
We know, kinetic energy of any object of mass m and speed v is given by :
[tex]K.E = \dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\\\K.E = \dfrac{1000\times 20^2}{2}\ J\\\\K.E = 200000\ J\\\\K.E = 200\ kJ[/tex]
Therefore, the kinetic energy of roller coaster is 200 kJ.
