Final answer:

Using the kinetic energy formula KE = ½ m v² with a mass of 10 kg and a velocity of 10 m/s, the energy of the 10 kg ball at that speed is 500 joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the energy of a 10 kg ball at a velocity of 10 m/s, we can use the formula for kinetic energy (KE), which is KE = ½ m v², where m is mass and v is velocity. In this case, the mass m = 10 kg and the velocity v = 10 m/s.

Using the formula, we get:

KE = ½ × 10 kg × (10 m/s)²

= ½ × 10 × 100

= 500 J.

Therefore, the energy of the ball at 10 m/s is 500 joules.
