KE = 0.5mv²
KE = 0.5 * 0.14kg * 18² m/s
KE = 22.68 J

Given:

m = 0.14 kg

v = 18 m/s

To find:

Kinetic energy= ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy of the object is possessed when the object is in motion. It is define as the work done required to accelerate a body from rest to motion. Unit of energy is Joule and it is same as unit of work done. Energy is nothing but the capacity to do work.

Solution:

Kinetic energy of the ball is given by,

Kinetic energy =
(1)/(2)m v^(2)

m = 0.14 kg

v = 18 m/s

Kinetic energy =
(1)/(2)(0.14) (18)^(2)

Kinetic energy = 226.8 Joule
