Verified Answer :

If the boy started at rest then its speed would be equal to 4.5 m/s squared.

Answer:

The speed of boy is 4.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Kinetic energy = 810 J

Mass = 80 kg

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of kinetic energy

\(K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\)

Where, m = mass

v = speed

Put the value into the formula

\(810=\dfrac{1}{2}\times80\times v^2\)

\(v^2=\dfrac{2\times810}{80}\)

\(v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times810}{80}}\)

\(v=4.5\ m/s\)

Hence, The speed of boy is 4.5 m/s.
