You serve a volleyball with a mass of 2.1 kg. The ball leaves your hand with a speed of 30 m/s. With how much energy does it fly away?

Verified Answer :

Answer:

KE = 945 J

Explanation:

Equation to use:

\(KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\)

Knowns:

\(m = 2.1 kg \\v = 30m/s\)

Plug in values and solve.

\(KE = \frac{1}{2}(2.1)(30^2)\\KE = 945 J\)

KE = 945 J
