You serve a volleyball with a mass of 1.4 kg. The ball leaves with a speed of 13 m/s. Calculate KE
NemiM [27]

Answer:

118.3 J

Explanation:

Givens:

m = 1.4 kg

V = 13 m/s

Formula for kinetic energy:

KE = (1/2)*(m)*(v)^2

KE = .5*(1.4 kg)*(13 m/s)^2

KE 118.3 J

J = Joules

Which of Newton's laws of motion describes the motion of an object that has a net<br> force of ON?
algol [13]

Newton's first and second laws of motion both do, but I think the one you're looking for is: <em>The First Law of Motion</em>.  That description is a little more direct.

It says that if an object is not acted on by a net external force, then it continues in "constant, uniform motion".
