2. Given

Mass of the object, m=20 kg

Momentum, p=40 kgm/s

To find

The kinetic energy of the object

Step-by-step explanation

We know the momentum is


\begin{gathered} p=mv \\ \Rightarrow40=20v \\ \Rightarrow v=2\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Now the kinetic energy is


\begin{gathered} K=(1)/(2)mv^2 \\ \Rightarrow K=(1)/(2)*20*2^2 \\ \Rightarrow K=40\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Step-by-step explanation

The kinetic energy is B.40 J.
