AP Physics B › Understanding Kinetic Energy
A shopping cart is traveling at
in a bumpy parking lot. The constant friction force on the cart is
. How far does the cart travel before coming a complete stop?
A car is initially driving at
on a flat street. The car then speeds up to
. What is the total change in kinetic energy of the car?
A car starting from rest accelerates at
for five seconds. What is the kinetic energy of this car after this period of acceleration?
If an ball is traveling with a horizontal velocity of
and a vertical velocity of
, what is its kinetic energy?
