KE = 1/2(m * v^2)
KE = 1/2(1350 * 12^2)
KE = 1/2(1350 * 144)
KE = 1/2(194,400)
KE = 97,200 Joules
In order to find what one part is in a ratio, you have to add the ratio up ( 5+ 3) and divide it by the number you're looking for (56). In this case, you get 56/8, which gives you 7. Therefore, each part is worth 7. You then have to multiply both sides of the ratio (5 and 3) by 7. 5x7= 35. 3x7= 21.
Therefore, 56 divided into the ratio of 5:3 is 35:21
D. I think because you would get a negative
