Question

How much kinetic energy does a 0.104 kg hamster have if it is moving at 24.0 m/s?

Answer 1

30J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of hamster = 0.104kg

Velocity = 24m/s

Unknown:

Kinetic energy = ?

Solution:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. It is mathematically derived by;

Kinetic energy =
`(1)/(2)` m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

Kinetic energy =
`(1)/(2)` x 0.104 x 24² = 30J
