<h2><u>KINETIC ENERGY</u></h2><h3>Problem:</h3>
» A 2kg mass is moving at 3m/s. What is its kinetic energy?
<h3>Answer:</h3>
— — — — — — — — — —
<h3>Formula:</h3>To calculate the velocity of a kinetic energy, we can use formula
where,
- v is the velocity in m/s
- KE is the kinetic energy in J (joules)
- m is the mass in kg
— — —
Based on the problem, the givens are:
- KE (Kinetic energy) = ? (unknown)
- m (mass) = 2 kg
- v (velocity) = 3 m/s
To get the velocity, substitute the givens in the formula above then solve.
Therefore, the kinetic energy is 9 Joules.
