Question

Calculate kinetic energy of a planet using 5.97 x 10^24 kg mass and v at 30.29 km s-1

Answer 1

2.74 × 10^33 J

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula to calculate kinetic energy is:

1/2mv²

m= mass (kg)

v= velocity (m/s)

given that,

m = 5.97 × 10^24

v = 30.29 km s-1

= 30290 m s-1

1/2× 5.97 × 10^24 × 30290²

=2.74 × 10^33 J
