35.4 m/s\text{35.4 m/s}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Convert the speed of the pickup truck from km/h to m/s.

    Given speed of pickup truck, v1=90 km/hv_1 = 90 \text{ km/h}.

    v1=90 km/h×1000 m1 km×1 h3600 sv_1 = 90 \text{ km/h} \times \frac{1000 \text{ m}}{1 \text{ km}} \times \frac{1 \text{ h}}{3600 \text{ s}} v1=90×10003600 m/sv_1 = \frac{90 \times 1000}{3600} \text{ m/s} v1=25 m/sv_1 = 25 \text{ m/s}
  2. Calculate the kinetic energy of the pickup truck.

    Given mass of pickup truck, m1=2000 kgm_1 = 2000 \text{ kg}.
    The formula for kinetic energy is KE=12mv2KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2.

    KE1=12m1v12KE_1 = \frac{1}{2}m_1 v_1^2 KE1=12(2000 kg)(25 m/s)2KE_1 = \frac{1}{2}(2000 \text{ kg})(25 \text{ m/s})^2 KE1=12(2000 kg)(625 m2/s2)KE_1 = \frac{1}{2}(2000 \text{ kg})(625 \text{ m}^2/\text{s}^2) KE1=1000×625 JKE_1 = 1000 \times 625 \text{ J} KE1=625000 JKE_1 = 625000 \text{ J}
  3. Set the kinetic energy of the sport car equal to the kinetic energy of the pickup truck.

    Given mass of sport car, m2=1000 kgm_2 = 1000 \text{ kg}.
    We are given that KE2=KE1KE_2 = KE_1.

    KE2=625000 JKE_2 = 625000 \text{ J}
  4. Solve for the speed of the sport car.

    Using the kinetic energy formula for the sport car:

    KE2=12m2v22KE_2 = \frac{1}{2}m_2 v_2^2 625000 J=12(1000 kg)v22625000 \text{ J} = \frac{1}{2}(1000 \text{ kg})v_2^2 625000=500v22625000 = 500 v_2^2 v22=625000500v_2^2 = \frac{625000}{500} v22=1250v_2^2 = 1250 v2=1250 m/sv_2 = \sqrt{1250} \text{ m/s} v2≈35.355 m/sv_2 \approx 35.355 \text{ m/s}
  5. Convert the speed of the sport car back to km/h (optional, but often preferred for vehicle speeds).

    v2=35.355 m/s×3600 s1 h×1 km1000 mv_2 = 35.355 \text{ m/s} \times \frac{3600 \text{ s}}{1 \text{ h}} \times \frac{1 \text{ km}}{1000 \text{ m}} v2=35.355×36001000 km/hv_2 = \frac{35.355 \times 3600}{1000} \text{ km/h} v2≈127.278 km/hv_2 \approx 127.278 \text{ km/h}

    The speed of the sport car is approximately 35.4 m/s35.4 \text{ m/s} or 127.3 km/h127.3 \text{ km/h}.
