Question

A 500-kilogram horse runs at 5 meters/second. The horse’s kinetic energy is (blank)joulese g = 9.8 N/kg.)

Answer 1

Answer:

KE = 6250 Joule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Every moving body has kinetic energy and it is given by the expression

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

where the moving body has m as the mass and v as the velocity.

If m is in Kg and v is in meter/sec, then KE will be expressed in Joule.

Now, in this case, m = 500 and v = 5 meter/sec.

So, $KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 500 \times (5)^{2} = 6250$ Joule. (Answer)
