Question

How much kinetic energy does a 50 kg object have if its moving at a velocity of 2 m/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

C) 100 joules

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

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

where m is the mass of the object and v its speed.

In this problem, we have an object of mass m = 50 kg and v = 2 m/s, so by using the formula we can find its kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(50 kg)(2 m/s)^2=100 J$
