Answer:
We conclude that the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.
Explanation:
Given
- Mass m = 1.75 kg
- Velocity v = 54 m/s
To determine
Kinetic Energy (K.E) = ?
We know that a body can possess energy due to its movement — Kinetic Energy.
Kinetic Energy (K.E) can be determined using the formula
where
- m is the mass (kg)
- v is the velocity (m/s)
- K.E is the Kinetic Energy (J)
now substituting m = 1.75, and v = 54 in the formula
J
Therefore, the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.
