Question

The mass of a water balloon is 2 kilograms. The speed that the water ballon is traveling when it hits the ground is 20 meters/second.

What is the total kinetic energy of a water balling that hits the ground after it is dropped from a balcony ?

Answer 1

400 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The total kinetic energy of the water balling when hits the ground is given as

K.E = 1/2mv².................. Equation 1

Where K.E = Kinetic Energy of water ballon, m = mass of water balloon, v = velocity of water ballon

Given: m = 2 kilograms, v = 20 meters/second.

Substitute these values into equation 1

K.E = (2×20²)/2

K.E = 2×400/2

K.E = 400 Joules
