Question

What is the velocity of a fly with a mass of approximately 6.85 times 10 to the negative 6 slugs if it has a kinetic energy of 5.95 J?

Answer 1

Velocity of the fly: 1318 m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. It can be calculated as

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

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the fly in this problem, we have

$m=6.85\cdot 10^{-6} kg$ is the mass

K = 5.95 J is the kinetic energy

Solving for v, we find its velocity:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(5.95)}{(6.85\cdot 10^{-6})}}=1318 m/s$
