KE=1/2 m v^2
KE= .5 x 2kg x 15m/s to the 2nd power
KE=225 km/s

Answer:

Kinetic energy = 225 J

Explanation:

As we know that kinetic energy is given as

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

now here we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 15 m/s

now from above formula we know

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(2)(15)^2$

now we have

$KE = 225 J$

so kinetic energy of the moving ball is 225 J

In a football game, a receiver is standing still, having just caught a pass. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocit

Answer:

$m_{receiver}=115Kg*3.1/(1.6)-115Kg=107.8Kg$

Explanation:

The football players collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V=1.6m/s.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision, at the initial point the receiver does not have any speed

$m_{tackler}*v_{tackler}=(m_{tackler}+m_{receiver})V$ (1)
