((.5 * 960) * ((101 * 1 000 * 60 * 60)^2)) * 0.000239005736 = 1.5166917 × 1016
1/2 M V^2= kinetic energy times conversion from joules to kilocalories.

How plane is steered on ground?
Some airplanes are always steered by the rudder Some are steered by a tail wheel coupled to the rudder Some are steered by the brakes at low speed some are steered by the nose wheel at low speed by a tiny steering wheel on the instrument panel All (almost) airplanes have the ability to steer with the brakes
What relationship could be represented by a graph with a negative slope?
something which decreases over time e.g. speed of a car when the brakes are applied. Time on the x-axis and speed on the y-axis of the graph
What would be the total stopping distance at a speed of 60 miles per hour?
The stopping distance, after decelerating from 60 mph to 0 mph, will depend on the efficiency of the brakes, the friction between the tyres and the road surface and the mass of the vehicle.The initial speed alone cannot give you an answer.
How many feet will it take to stop a 35 ton truck traveling at 45 mph?
The distance travelled will depend on many factors other than the mass and speed of the truck. For example, the road conditions (wet/dry), the state of the tyres and the brakes.
How many feet to stop car at 70 mph?
One - which needs to be on the brake pedal! Apart from the car's speed, the stopping distance will depend on the mass of the car, the condition of the brakes, the condition of the tyres - the air pressure and tread, the road condition, the driver's response.
What affects speed?
the brakes affect the speed
If you are applying the brakes on your bicycle are you accelerating explain?
Using brakes slows your speed.
Does the Space Shuttle have speed brakes?
The Space Shuttle orbiter has speed brakes in the tail which open up when it's going to land and also has a parachute brake system which is deployed upon touchdown in addition to its wheel brakes.
What should you do if your brakes become wet?
While driving, apply the brakes gently for a short distance, as you maintain your speed.
Does a one speed bike have brakes?
Most do, but not all. Real track bikes, and some types of BMXes won't have brakes.
What if brakes squeak only at low speed?
all ou must do is always stay on high speed.
How does a airoplane float in air?
With lift generated by wind speed over the wings.
How does an emergency brake stop a high speed train?
by applying the brakes on full
What happens to the speed of a motor car when brakes are gently applied?
The speed of the motor vehicle is gently slowed down. The more aggressive the brakes are applied the faster the vehicle slows down eventually coming to a full stop.
How an airplane floats in the air?
The lift generated by speed of the wing supports an aircraft in the air.
Does leg power affect speed of an athlete?
Leg power certainly affects the speed of an athlete. The strength generated by pushing against the ground usually increases speed.
Has light originating outside of earth been tested for speed?
Light from stellar sources will travel at the same speed as light generated on earth.
