Question

Calcular la energía cinética de un cometa cuya masa es de 5×10 elevado a 31 kg y se mueve con velocidad de 216000km/h

Answer 1

The kinetic energy is $9\cdot 10^{40}J$.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

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

where

K is the kinetic energy of the object

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

For the comet in this problem, we have:

$m=5\cdot 10^{31} kg$ is its mass

$v=216,000 km/h$ is the speed

First, we convert the speed  from km/h to m/s:

$v=216,000 \frac{km}{h} \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=60,000 m/s$

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the comet is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(5\cdot 10^{31})(60,000)^2=9\cdot 10^{40}J$
