The kinetic energy of an object is given by
KE = 0.5mv²
where m is the mass and v is the velocity.
To calculate the change in kinetic energy...
Initial KE:
KEi = 0.5mVi²
where Vi is the initial velocity.
Final KE:
KEf = 0.5mVf²
where Vf is the final velocity.
ΔKE = KEf - KEi
ΔKE = 0.5mVi² - 0.5mVf²
ΔKE = 0.5m(Vf²-Vi²)
Given values:
m = 16kg
Vi = 25m/s
Vf = 20m/s
Plug in the given values and solve for ΔKE:
ΔKE = 0.5×16×(20²-25²)
ΔKE = -1800J
Answer:
3.962
Explanation:
mass = 1.2
gravity g = 9.81
velocity = ?
mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2(1/2)mv²
= 9.81 x 1.2 = 3/4v²
11.772 x 4 = 3/4v²
47.088 = 3v²
divide through both sides by 3
15.696 = v²
take the square root of both sides
√15.696 = √v²
= 3.6962 = v
the speed is therefore 3.692
