Kinetic Energy of Vehicle at Design Speed Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Kinetic Energy of Vehicle at Design Speed = (Total Weight of Vehicle*Velocity^2)/(2*[g])
K.E = (W*v_vehicle^2)/(2*[g])
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Kinetic Energy of Vehicle at Design Speed - (Measured in Joule) - Kinetic Energy of Vehicle at Design Speed is the energy possessed by a vehicle when it is moving at its design speed on a specific road section.
Total Weight of Vehicle - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Weight of Vehicle is the total weight of a vehicle, including the weight of the vehicle itself and its cargo, at a given sight distance.
Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity is the speed at which a vehicle is traveling, typically measured at a specific point in time or over a certain distance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Weight of Vehicle: 230 Kilogram --> 230 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Velocity: 28.23 Meter per Second --> 28.23 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

What is Kinetic Energy of Vehicle?

The kinetic energy of a vehicle is the energy it possesses because of its motion. This energy increases with both the vehicle's mass and its speed, meaning that heavier or faster vehicles have more kinetic energy. This energy plays a crucial role in determining how much distance is needed to stop the vehicle, as higher kinetic energy results in longer braking distances. Understanding kinetic energy is important for assessing vehicle safety, especially in the context of collisions and braking performance.
