Question

.A 0.6 kg basketball is thrown straight up at a velocity of 4 m/s. What is the initial kinetic energy of the basketball?

Answer 1

Answer:

the initial kinetic energy of the basket ball is 4.8 J

Explanation:

The computation of the initial kinetic energy of the basket ball is shown below:

As we know that

Initial kinetic energy is

$= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\\\= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.6 \times (4m/s)^2\\\\= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.6 \times 16m/s^2\\\\= 4.8 J$

Hence, the initial kinetic energy of the basket ball is 4.8 J
