Question

Find the speed of a 5.6-kg bowling ball that has a kinetic energy of 25.2 J.

Answer 1

                                          Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                         25.2 J                =  (1/2) (5.6kg) (speed)²

Divide each side
by (2.8 kg) :                     25.2 J / 2.8 kg  =                         speed²

Take the square root
of each side:                   speed = √(9 m²/sec²)

                                                      =  3 m/s .
