A car is travelling at 9m/s It has 25 000 J of kinetic energy. What is the kinetic energy when the car comes to a stop?

Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion of an object. When an object comes to a stop, it loses its kinetic energy because it is no longer in motion. The amount of kinetic energy held by a moving object can be calculated with the equation , where m represents the object's mass and v stands for its velocity. However, when an object comes to a stop, its velocity becomes 0. As a result, the equation simplifies to \( KE = \dfrac{1}{2} m \times 0^2 \" which would yield a kinetic energy of 0, regardless of the mass of the object. Therefore, when the car comes to a stop, its kinetic energy is 0 J.
