Question

Missy Diwater the former platform diver for the Ringling Brother's circus had a kinetic energy of 15000 j just to prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy's mass is 50 kg, then what is her velocity?

Answer 1

Missy's velocity is 24.5 m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by

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

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

In this problem, we know:

K = 15000 J is Missy's kinetic energy

m = 50 kg is her mass

Solving for v, we find her velocity:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(15000)}{50}}=24.5 m/s$
