Q. The kinetic energy, measured in kilogram meters squared per second squared (s2kg⋅m2), of the International Space Station is approximately:13,340,250,000,000s2kg⋅m2If 1 Joule (J) is equal to 1s2kg⋅m2 , and 1 terajoule (TJ) is equal to 1012J, what is the approximate kinetic energy of the Space Station in terajoules to the nearest hundredth?Choose 1 answer:(A) 0.1334TJ(B) 1.334TJ(C) 13.34TJ(D) 13.34⋅1012TJ
Understand Joules and Terajoules: Understand the relationship between joules and terajoules.1 terajoule (TJ) is equal to 1012 joules (J).
Convert Kinetic Energy: Convert the given kinetic energy from joules to terajoules.The given kinetic energy is 13,340,250,000,000(kg⋅m2)/(s2), which is equivalent to 13,340,250,000,000joules.To convert to terajoules, divide by 1012.1012J/TJ13,340,250,000,000J=13.34025TJ
Round to Nearest Terajoule: Round the result to the nearest hundredth of a terajoule. 13.34025 TJ rounded to the nearest hundredth is 13.34 TJ.
