Answer:

$\displaystyle KE = 32 \ J$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Energy

Kinetic Energy Formula: $\displaystyle KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

KE is in J
m is in kg
v is in m/s

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

m = 2 kg

v = 4 m/s

Step 2: Find KE

Substitute in variables [Kinetic Energy Formula]: $\displaystyle KE = (2 \ kg)(4 \ m/s)^2$
Simplify: $\displaystyle KE = 32 \ J$
