The change in the kinetic energy refers to the work done in displacing a body, thus, the change in the kinetic energy of an object refers to the work done on the object.
The correct formula to use is:
W = Initial kinetic energy - Final kinetic energy;
Where, W = change in kinetic energy
Final kinetic energy and initial kinetic energy = 1/2 MV^2
Initial velocity = 15 m/s
Final velocity = 13.5 m/s
Initial mass = 0.650 kg
Final mass = 0.950 kg
W = 1/2 [0.650* (15 *15)] - 1/2 [0.950 * (13.5 * 13.5)]
W = 146.25 - 173.13 = 26.88
Therefore, the change in kinetic energy is 26.88 J.
The negative sign has to be ignored, because change in kinetic energy can not be negative.

The block has maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the curved incline. Since its radius is 3.0 m, this is also the block's starting height. Find the block's potential energy <em>PE</em> :
<em>PE</em> = <em>m g h</em>
<em>PE</em> = (2.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (3.0 m)
<em>PE</em> = 58.8 J
Energy is conserved throughout the block's descent, so that <em>PE</em> at the top of the curve is equal to kinetic energy <em>KE</em> at the bottom. Solve for the velocity <em>v</em> :
<em>PE</em> = <em>KE</em>
58.8 J = 1/2 <em>m v</em> ²
117.6 J = (2.0 kg) <em>v</em> ²
<em>v</em> = √((117.6 J) / (2.0 kg))
<em>v</em> ≈ 7.668 m/s ≈ 7.7 m/s
The velocity of the pitcher is <u>0.105 m/s</u> in a direction opposite to the velocity of the ball.
When no external force acts on a system, the total momentum of the system is conserved. The total initial momentum of the system is equal to the total final momentum of the system.
The pitcher and the ball are initially at rest, therefore, the total initial momentum of the system is zero.
Since no external forces act on the system comprising of pitcher and the ball, the total final momentum of the system is also equal to zero.
If the mass of the pitcher is mp and its speed is vp, the mass of the ball is mb and the ball's speed is vb, then the final momentum of the system of pitcher and the ball is given by,

Therefore,

Substituet 0.15 kg for mb, 50 kg for mp and 35 m/s for vb.

The pitcher has a velocity <u> 0.105 m/s</u> opposite to the direction of the velocity of the ball.
