Question

Calculate the kinetic energy of an 88-kg scooter moving at 18 m/s .

Answer 1

The formula for calculating kinetic energy is:
0.5 x mass x speed^2 (^2 = squared)

Answer 2

kinetic energy of the scooter is 14256 joule.

Explanation:

Since kinetic energy of an object is represented by the formula

Kinetic energy =
`(1)/(2)(\text{Mass})(\text{Velocity}^(2))`

Mass of the scooter = 88 kg

Velocity of the scooter = 18 meter per second.

Kinetic energy =
`(1)/(2)* 88* (18)^(2)`

= 44×(18)²

= 14256 Joule

Therefore, kinetic energy of the scooter is 14256 joule.
