Question

What is the kinetic energy of a 2.0 kg object moving at 5 m/s?

Answer 1

Let's put the given values into the formula below and get the result;

• $K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

We know the numerical value of speed. We also know the mass. We can jump straight to the conclusion.

• $K.E=\frac{1}{2}(2kg)(5m/s)^2$
• $=\frac{1}{2}(2kg)(25m^2/s^2)$
• $=25m^2/s^2=25J$

Answer 2

The Kinetic Energy is 25J.

If we want to accelerate an object, we must apply force on it, after applying Force some work has to be done in which energy should be transferred to the object. The energy is known as kinetic energy. The kinetic energy always depends on the mass and the velocity. It is denoted as K and the Si unit is Joules (J).

To calculate the Kinetic Energy,

       

           K= 1/2 mv^2

m = mass  

v = velocity

K = kinetic energy

In solving the above equation,

K = 1/2 x2 x 5^2

K = 5x5

K = 25

 

The Kinetic Energy is 25J.
