Detailed Solution finding Kinetic Energy for m = 878 lb, v = 1040 mph

Kinetic Energy is the energy an object has owing to its motion. In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared.

The formula to calculate Kinetic energy is:

KE =
1 / 2
mv2

Where,

KE = Kinetic Energy

m = Mass of object

v = velocity


Step by Step Solution to find Kinetic Energy of Mass = 878 lb & Velocity = 1040 mph:

Given that,

mass (m) = 878 lb

velocity (v) = 1040 mph

Convert the mass 878 lb to "Kilograms (kg)"

Mass in Kg = 878 ÷ 2.204623

Mass in kg = 398.254 kg

=> Convert Distance value 1040 mph to "meters (m)"

Distance in meters = 1040 x 1609

Distance in meters (m) = 464.9084 m

Substitute the value into the formula

KE =
1 / 2
x 398.254 x ( 464.9084 )2

KE = 43039270.0171 J

∴ Kinetic Energy (KE) = 43039270.0171 J
