Question

What is the kinetic energy of an object that has a mass of 12 kg and moves with a velocity of 10 m/s

Answer 1

600 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the kinetic energy of an object is
`(1)/(2)mV^2`

• m = mass in kg
• V = velocity in m/s
• KE is measured in Joules just as all other forms of energy.

Now, let's plug in the variables we're given and simplify.

• 
  `(1)/(2)(12)(10)^2`
• 
  `(1)/(2)(12)(100)`
• 
  `(6)(100)`
• 
  `(600)`

Thus, the answer is 600 Joules.
