A car has a kinetic energy of 1.9 × 103 joules. If the velocity of the car is decreased by half, what is its kinetic energy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You mean \(1.9\times10^3\)(J)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyway, \(E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\). Since the velocity is divided by 2, the kinetic will be divided by 4.
