The energy possess is 6,000,000 J
The **kinetic energy **is a energy by which an object can **move **and **potential energy **is a **stored **energy which depends upon the **relative position **of various parts of the body .
Given:
The **mass **of **automobile **is m = 1200 kg .
The **velocity **of the **automobile **is 100 m/s .
How to calculate potential energy and kinetic energy?
Write the **formula **to calculate the potential energy of the body.
P . E = m g h
Since the **automobile **is on ground so the **height ** h will be 0.
P . E = 1200 × 9.81 × 0 P . E = 0
Write the formula to **calculate **the kinetic energy .
K . E = 2 1 ​ m v 2
Substitute the value.
K . E = 2 1 ​ × 1200 × 10 0 2 K . E = 6 , 000 , 000 J .
