Answer: 500 joules
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of ball = 10kg
kinetic energy = ?
velocity of the ball = 10m/s
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. It is measured in joules, and depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves
i.e K.E = 1/2mv²
K.E = 1/2 x 10kg x (10m/s)²
K.E = 0.5 x 10kg x (10m/s)²
K.E = 5 x 100
K.E = 500 joules
Thus, the kinetic energy of the ball is 500 joules
It took so long because at the time there was no way for people to study the behavior formally. im not sure what helped it get recognized but i know wihelm wundt helped get it recongnized.
sorry i couldnt be much help
