Answer:
Mass, m = 2650 kg
Explanation:
We have,
Kinetic energy of Mr. Thomson’s prius is 641300 J
He is moving with a velocity of 22 m/s
It is required to find the mass of Mr. Thomson’s prius.
Kinetic energy,
[tex]K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]
Plugging all the values, we get :
[tex]m=\dfrac{2K}{v^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{2\times 641300}{(22)^2}\\\\m=2650\ kg[/tex]
So, the mass of Mr. Thomson’s prius is 2650 kg.
