An object has a velocity of 8 m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 j what is the mass of the object

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

We Know,

K.E. = 1/2 mv²

480 = 1/2 (m)(8)²

m = 960/64

m = 15 Kg

So, the mass of the object is 15 Kg
