what is the kinetic energy of a 1 kilogram ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 3 m/sec

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Data:
m (mass) = 1 Kg
s (speed) = 3 m/s
Kinetic energy = ? (Joule)

Formula (Kinetic energy)
$E_{k} = \frac{m*s^2}{2}$

Solving:
$E_{k} = \frac{m*s^2}{2}$
$E_{k} = \frac{1*3^2}{2}$
$E_{k} = \frac{1*9}{2}$
$E_{k} = \frac{9}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{E_{k} = 4.5\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
