Question

I was playing goalie in a soccer league and made a save. The ball was traveling at 14 m/s and has a mass of 0.45 kg. How muck kinetic energy did the ball have when it hit me

Answer 1

Kinetic energy = 44.1 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Velocity of ball = 14 m/s

Mass of ball = 0.45 kg

Find:

Kinetic energy

Computation:

An item's kinetic energy is force it has as a result of its motion. It is the amount of work necessary to move a body of a known volume from rest to a specified velocity.

Ke = (1/2)(m)(v²)

Ke = (1/2)(0.45)(14²)

Ke = (1/2)(0.45)(196)

Kinetic energy = 44.1 J
