Calculate the kinetic energy of a 4.00kg object traveling at 16.0 m/s
Answer:
Kinetic energy is 512 Joules
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the object, m = 4 kg
Velocity with which the object is moving, v = 16 m/s
We need to find the kinetic energy of the object. It is given by :
\(E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\)
\(E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\ kg\times (16\ m/s)^2\)
\(E_k=512\ J\)
So, the kinetic energy of the object is 512 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
