PLS HELP!! This question was never fully solved!

An object moving at 13 m/s has a kinetic energy of 426 J. What is the mass of the object?
1.26 kg
2.52 kg
5.04 kg
65.5 kg

Answer 1

To find the mass of the object, we can use the formula for kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy (KE) = (1/2) * mass * velocity^2

Given that the kinetic energy is 426 J and the velocity is 13 m/s, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the mass:

mass = (2 * KE) / (velocity^2)

Substituting the given values:

mass = (2 * 426 J) / (13 m/s)^2

mass = (2 * 426 J) / (169 m^2/s^2)

mass = 852 J / 169 m^2/s^2

mass = 5.04 kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 5.04 kg.
