An automated guided vehicle (AGV) used in a distribution centre has a total mass of 240 kg.
The AGV travels along a straight, horizontal corridor at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s.
Calculate the kinetic energy of the AGV.
Use the equation:
kinetic energy=0.5×mass×speed2 \text{kinetic energy} = 0.5 \times \text{mass} \times \text{speed}^2 kinetic energy=0.5×mass×speed257 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Physics 8.1 Energy transfers and work. Each one has a worked solution and a mark scheme showing where the marks go.
