Question

A small 16 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 4 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?

Answer 1

Given:

Mass(m)=16Kg

Velocity (v)=4m/s

Kinetic energy=1/2mv^2

Where m is the mass

v is the velocity

Kinetic energy=1/2(16x4x4)

Kinetic energy= 128J

Answer 2

Kinetic Energy,K.E=1/2MV²

mass,m=16kg

velocity,v=4m/s

K.E=1/2×16×4²

=128kgm²/s²

=128 Joules
