Question

The quantity that has units kg m2/sec2 is known as a

Answer 1

Answer:

Energy

Explanation:

The unit is $kg\ m^2/s^2$.

We can see the formula of kinetic energy is

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

Where $m$ is the mass and $v$ is the velocity of the object.

Which means its unit would be kg times square of meter per second, that is  $kg\ m^2/s^2$. Which is often referred as Joule.

Also, when look at the formula of work done by an object.

$W=f\times d$

Where $f$ is the force and $d$ is the distance traveled by the object due to force $f$.

We an see that its unit is kg meter per second squared times meter. That is equivalent to $kg\ m^2/s^2$. This is also a type of energy.

So, the unit $kg\ m^2/s^2$ is the unit of energy.
