Question
Two cars are moving. The first car has thrice the mass of the second car but only 1/3 as the
kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 9 m/s, they then have the same kinetic
energy.
Calculate the original speeds of the first car.
a. 15.59 m/s2
c. 2.35 m/s2
b. 5.20 m/s2
d. 5.30 m/s2
