Question

Please help.

Answer 1

Explanation:

mathematically,

$kinetic \: energy \: = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}$

where m= mass

and v=velocity

given that,

kinetic energy=493900J

mass =5040kg

making velocity the subject

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{2 \times kinetic \: energy}{mass} }$

substitute their values in the formula

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{2 \times 493900}{5040} }$

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{987800}{5040} }$

$v = \sqrt{196}$

$v = 14m {s}^{ - 1}$

Thus the velocity is 14meters per second
