Using the formula for kinetic energy, we can calculate the velocity of the car. The formula is:
E = (1/2)mv^2
Where: E = energy (0.6 MJ) m = mass (4 tonnes = 4000 kg) v = velocity
Rearranging the formula, we find:
v = √(2E/m)
Now let's substitute the values:
v = √(2 * 0.6 * 10^6 J / 4000 kg)
Calculating this, we get:
v ≈ 17.32 m/s
So, the velocity of the car is approximately 17.32 m/s.
