Answer:

9J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of cell phone = 80g

1000g = 1kg

80g is therefore 0.08kg

Velocity of the cellphone = 15m/s

Unknown:

Kinetic energy of the cellphone = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy due to its motion.

It is expressed as:

K.E =
(1)/(2) mv² =
(1)/(2) x 0.08 x 15² = 9J
