Kinetic energy = 1/2 (mass) (speed squared)

KE = 1/2 (70kg) (2m/s)^2

KE = (35 kg) (4 m^2/s^2)

KE = (140) kg-m^2/s^2

That's 140 Newton-meter

140 Joules

When can thermal energy in a system move from lower to higher temperatures?

Fed [463]

Answer:

When the object in creases or decreases in temperature.

Explanation:

Heat flow moves energy from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. The bigger the difference in temperature between two objects, the faster heat flows between them. When temperatures are the same there is no change in energy due to heat flow. Radiation and Conduction are the two methods of heat transfer..

Compared to its weight on Earth, a 5kg object on the moon will weigh

shutvik [7]

Answer:

8.1 N/49 N=0.1653 which means 16.53% of the weight of the object on Earth.

Explanation:

On the Moon, where the gravitational constant is 1.62 $\frac{m}{s^2}$ , the weight of the 5 kg object will be: $weight_M=m*g_M = 5 kg * 1.62 \frac{m}{s^2} =8.1 N$
