Answer: 2812500 joules
Explanation:
Mass of car = 1500kg
Velocity of car = 75mph
Kinetic energy = ?
Recall that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on its mass M and velocity, V
Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2
= 1/2 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2
= 0.5 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2
= 500 x 5625
= 2812500 joules
Thus, the car travels with a kinetic energy of 2812500 joules
