Question

What is the speed of a 180 g ball if its kinetic energy is 100 J?

Answer 1

Answer:

Velocity, V = 33.33 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 180grams to kilograms = 180/1000 = 0.18 kg

Kinetic energy = 100J

To find the speed;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

100 = ½*0.18*V²

Cross-multiplying, we have;

200 = 0.18*V²

V² = 200/0.18

V² = 1111.11

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

Velocity, V = 33.33 m/s
