Question

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 4.00kg object traveling at 16.0 m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

Kinetic energy is 512 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 4 kg

Velocity with which the object is moving, v = 16 m/s

We need to find the kinetic energy of the object. It is given by :

$E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\ kg\times (16\ m/s)^2$

$E_k=512\ J$

So, the kinetic energy of the object is 512 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer 2

KE = ½mv² = ½(4.00 kg)(16.0 m/s)² = 512 J
