A 2100 kg truck traveling north at 38 km/h turns east and accelerates to 55 km/h. (a) What is the change in the truck's kinetic energy

Change in kinetic energy (ΔKE) = 12.8 × 10⁴ J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of truck(m) = 2,100 kg

Initial speed(v1) = 38 km/h = 38,000 / 3600 = 10.56 m/s

Final speed(v2) = 55 km/h = 55,000 / 3600 = 15.28 m/s

Find:

Change in kinetic energy (ΔKE)

Computation:

Change in kinetic energy (ΔKE) = 1/2(m)[v2² - v1²]

Change in kinetic energy (ΔKE) = 1/2(2100)[15.28² - 10.56²]

Change in kinetic energy (ΔKE) = 1,050[233.4784 - 111.5136]

Change in kinetic energy (ΔKE) = 1,050[121.9648]

Change in kinetic energy (ΔKE) = 128063.04

Change in kinetic energy (ΔKE) = 12.8 × 10⁴ J

c. 7/3
