An automated industrial shuttle has a mass of 12.5 kg.
It moves along a horizontal test track at a constant speed of 4.8 m/s.
Calculate the kinetic energy of the shuttle.
Use the equation:
kinetic energy=0.5×mass×(speed)2 \text{kinetic energy} = 0.5 \times \text{mass} \times (\text{speed})^2 kinetic energy=0.5×mass×(speed)257 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.
