Answer:
90,000 J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy can be found using the following formula.
where <em>m </em>is the mass in kilograms and <em>v</em> is the velocity in m/s.
We know the object has a mass of 50 kilograms. We also know it is a traveling at a rate of 60 m/s. Velocity is the speed of something, so the velocity of the object is 60 m/s.
<em>m</em>=50
<em>v</em>=60
Substitute these values into the formula.
First, evaluate the exponent: 60^2. 60^2 is the same as multiplying 60, 2 times.
60^2=60*60=3,600
Multiply 50 and 3,600
Multiply 1/2 and 3,600, or divide 3,600 by 2.
Add appropriate units. Kinetic energy uses Joules, or J.
The kinetic energy of the object is 90,000 Joules
