Question

A elephant kicks a 5.0\,\text {kg}5.0kg5, point, 0, start text, k, g, end text stone with 150\,\text J150J150, start text, J, end text of kinetic energy.
What is the stone’s speed?

Answer 1

The speed of the stone is 7.7 m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion. Mathematically,

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the body

v is its speed

For the stone in this problem, we have:

K = 150 J is its kinetic energy

m = 5.0 kg is its mass

Re-arranging the equation for v, we find the speed of the stone:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(150)}{5.0}}=7.7 m/s$
