Hello!

An object has a velocity of 8 m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 J. What is the mass of the object?

We have the following data:

KE (Kinetic Energy) = 480 J

m (mass) = ? (in Kg)

v (speed) = 8 m/s

Formula to calculate kinetic energy:


KE = (1)/(2) *m*v^2

Solving:


KE = (1)/(2) *m*v^2


480 = (1)/(2) *m*8^2


480 = (1)/(2) *m*64


480*2 = 64*m


960 = 64m


64m = 960


m = (960)/(64)


\boxed{\boxed{m = 15\:Kg}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Answer:

15 kg
