Question

A 4 kg object is moving at a speed of 5 m/sec. How much kinetic energy does the object have? A. 10 joules B. 20 joules C. 50 joules D. 100 joules

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 10 joules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object  = 4kg

Speed  = 5m/s

Unknown:

Kinetic energy of the the object  = ?

Solution:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to a moving body.

So;

           mathematically;

    K.E  = $\frac{1}{2}$ x m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

  K.E  =  $\frac{1}{2}$  x 4 x 5  = 10J
