Answer:Given parameters: Mass of object = 6.7kg Velocity = 8m/s Unknown parameter: Kinetic energy = ? Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two forms of energy; Kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. Whereas, potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body usually at rest. Kinetic energy is mathematically expressed as; Kinetic energy = where m is the mass of the body v is the velocity of the bodySince we have been given both mass and velocity, input the parameter to solve for the unknown; Kinetic energy = x 6.7 x 8² = 214.4‬JSo the kinetic energy of the body is 214.4‬J
