3 m/s cause Mass of object = 4kg
Velocity = ?
Kinetic energy = 18J
Recall that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on its mass M and velocity, V
Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2
18J = 1/2 x 4kg x v^2
18J = 0.5 x 4kg x v^2
18J = 2kg x v^2
v^2 = 18/2
v^2 = 9
v = √9 (square root of 9)
v = 3 m/s
