The kinetic energy of the horse, given that the 500 kg horse runs at 5 meter/second, is 6250 Joules

How to calculate the kinetic energy of the horse?

Kinetic energy has be defined as the energy of moving objects. it has a mathematical representation of:


KE = (1)/(2)mv^2

Where

  • KE is the kinetic energy
  • m is the mass of the object
  • v is the velocity of the object

Now, we shall calculate the kinetic energy of the 500 kg horse. Details below:

  • Mass of horse (m) = 500 Kilograms
  • Velocity of horse (v) = 5 meter/second
  • Kinetic energy of horse (KE) = ?


KE = (1)/(2)mv^2\\\\KE = (1)/(2)\ *\ 500\ *\ 5^2\\\\KE = 250\ *\ 25\\\\KE = 6250\ Joules
