7000 m/s. Which is the kinetic energy of the paint chip?

F 1750)

G 6125 )

H 12.250

24,500

(7 Points)

Answer 1

G. 6125

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 2.5x10-3 kg

velocity v= 7000 m/s

Required

The kinetic energy

Step two:

The expression for the kinetic energy is

KE= 1/2m v^2

KE= 1/2*2.5x10^-3*7000^2

KE= 0.5*2.5x10^-3*7000^2

KE= 0.5*2.5x10^-3*49000000

KE= 0.5*122500

KE=6125J
