The rider sees a traffic queue ahead. He applies the brakes and reduces the speed of the motorbike from 18 m/s to 3 m/s.a) Use the equation in the box to calculate the kinetic energy lost by the motorbike.Show clearly how you work out your answer.Kinetic energy lost = ........
The diagram shows a motorbike of mass 300 kg being ridden along a straight road.

*insert picture of motorbike of mass 300 kg being ridden along a straight road*

The rider sees a traffic queue ahead. He applies the brakes and reduces the speed of the motorbike from 18 m/s to 3 m/s.

a) Use the equation in the box to calculate the kinetic energy lost by the motorbike.
Show clearly how you work out your answer.

kinetic energy = 1/2 × mass × speed^2

Kinetic energy lost = ........................................… J
(2 marks)





-----------------------

The answer is 47250J. But how do you go about getting to this answer? I tried 18-13 = 15 and then doing 1/2 x 300 x 15^2 but it came out to something different. Help! I can't figure out how to do this :'(

Thank you!

im doing the physics exam 2moro and its confusing as *****. but i luckily understand this question.

(0.5*300*18^2)-(0.5*300*3^2)=47250

bacially workout the kinetic energy for when he was going at 18m/s and 3m/s and get the difference.

could u check my physics question and see if u can answer it plz.

.5*300*18^2 - .5*300*3^2 .... you were half way there.. well kinda.
