Question

Erica is competing in the shot put event at a track meet. She hurls a shot with a mass of 4 kilograms at a speed of 9 meters/second. The shot’s kinetic energy is joules.

Answer 1

162 joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

We have: K.E. = mv² / 2

here, m = 4 Kg

v = 9 m/s

Substitute their values into the expression:

K.E. = (4)(9)² / 2

K.E. = (4)(81) / 2

K.E. = 324 / 2

K.E. = 162 Joules

In short, Your Answer would be 162 J
