Answer: KE = 62.5J
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of object = 5kg
kinetic energy KE = ?
velocity of object = 5m/s
Since kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves. Therefore, the object has kinetic energy.
i.e K.E = 1/2mv^2
KE = 1/2 x 5kg x (5m/s)^2
KE = 0.5 x 5 x 25
KE = 62.5J
Thus, the object has 62.5 joules of kinetic energy.
Do you see that blank, open space after the word "potential ..." ?
There's supposed to be a number there that actually tells us the value of the potential. Without that number ... and a lot more description of the whole scenario here ... there's no possible answer to the question.
Every practical source of energy that you can imagine, as well as a few impractical ones, are used somewhere in the USA.
From whale oil in Alaska, to nuclear energy, to coal, petroleum, natural gas, solar energy, wind energy, and biomass.
Oh ! Geothermal energy and tidal energy aren't too popular, but I'll bet if you looked, you'd find these used too, SOMEwhere in the 50 states.
A gas heated to millions of degrees would emit mostly x-rays.
