A 100.0 lb skier moves at 40.00miles/hour. Calc her kinetic energy.
Pepsi [2]

answer: its 7290 joules.

explanations: the first procedure is to convert 1 pound to kilogram. 1 kg = 2.205 hence given 100 lb so we cross multiply. 1 kg * 100 = 2.205 * x

hence x= 45 kg. let's convert 1 mile per hour = 0.45 metre per second we cross multiply by 40 mile per hour. x= 40 * 0.45= 18 m/s.

KE= 1/2 * 45 * (18)^2

= 1/2 * 45 * 14580

= 7290joules
