Car 1 of mass m1 is waiting at a traffic light. Car 1 is struck from behind by Car 2 of mass m2.
The two cars stick together after the collision.
Car 2 was traveling at v2i = 30.0 m/s before the collision.

What is the initial kinetic energy, in [J], of car 1, if m1= 2500kg?

KE= 1/2 m v^2

KE= 1/2 2500 (0)^2

KE= 0

Explanation: since initial velocity is 0, the KE is 0.

no diagram was provided, but i'm guessing it's the one i've attached to my answer.

here, a mechanical force turns the rod.   this generates an electric current in the coil, which powers the bulb.

temp rises, and expansion
