Answer:
[tex]E=4.9\times 10^5\ J[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The speed of a driver, v = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s
The mass of the truck, m = 2000 kg
We need to find how much internal energy is produced. The internal energy produced by a truck is its kinetic energy and it is given by :
[tex]E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot22.22^{2}\cdot2000\\\\E=493728.4\ J[/tex]
or
[tex]E=4.9\times 10^5\ J[/tex]
So, [tex]4.9\times 10^5\ J[/tex] of internal energy is produced.
