Question

Using the formula below, calculate the kinetic energy of the 6 gram stone going 10 Mph

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A wonderful (NOT) mixed unit problem

convert mph to m/s

v = 10 mi/hr(5280 ft/mi)(12 in/ft)(2.54 cm/in) / (100 cm/m) / (3600 s/hr)

v = 4.4704 m/s

KE = ½(0.006)4.4704²

KE = 0.05995342848 J

KE = 0.06 J
