Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2.1 \ kilograms}}

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to motion. The formula 1/2 the product of mass and the squared velocity.

E_k=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

We know the baseball's kinetic energy is 105 Joules. It is also traveling at a velocity of 10 meters per second. `

First, convert the units of Joules to make unit cancellation easier later in the problem. 1 Joule (J) is equal to 1 kilogram square meter per square second (kg*m²/s²). The baseball's kinetic energy of 105 J is equal to 105 kg*m²/s².

Now we know 2 values:

  • E_k= 105 \ kg*m^2/s^2
  • v= 10 \ m/s

Substitute these values into the formula.

105 \ kg*m^2/s^2= \frac{1}{2} m (10 \ m/s)^2

Now we need to solve for m, the mass. Solve the exponent.

  • (10 m/s)²= 10 m/s * 10 m/s = 100 m²/s²

105 \ kg *m^2/s^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (100 \ m^2/s^2)

Multiply on the right side.

105 \ kg *m^2/s^2 =  m (\frac{1}{2} * 100 \ m^2/s^2)

105 \ kg *m^2/s^2 =  m (50 \ m^2/s^2)

The variable, m, is being multiplied by 50 square meters per square second. The opposite of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by that value.

\frac {105 \ kg *m^2/s^2 }{50 \ m^2/s^2}=  \frac{ m (50 \ m^2/s^2)}{50 \ m^2/s^2}

\frac {105 \ kg *m^2/s^2 }{50 \ m^2/s^2}= m

The units of square meter per square second will cancel out.

\frac {105 }{50} \ kg= m

2.1 \ kg=m

The mass of the baseball is <u>2.1 kilograms. </u>
