A bird flies at a speed of 2.3 m/s if it has 14 j of kinetic energy what is the mass
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv²
Kinetic Energy = 14 J, v = 2.3 m/s , m = ?
14 = 1/2 m 2.3²
14 = 0.5m2.32.3
m = 14 / (0.52.32.3)
m = 5.29 kg.
Mass = 5.29 kg.
Answer: 5.28kg
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its motion.
Kinetic energy = 1/2MV²
Where M is the mass of the body
V is the velocity
Given Kinetic energy = 14Joules
Velocity = 2.3m/s
Substituting this values into the formula to get mass,
14 = 1/2M(2.3)²
14 = 2.65M
M = 14/2.65
M = 5.28kg
The mass of the bird is 5.28kg
