Question

A piece of toast weighing 8 grams is flying through the air at 15

m/s. What is its kinetic energy?

Answer 1

The kinetic energy of toast is 0.06 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is the way to determine the energy released when an object is in motion. In other times, it can be the energy required to move any object and to make it in motion.

As the mass of the toast is given as 8 g and speed is given as 15 m/s, if we ignore the friction caused by air molecules. Then the kinetic energy is the product of mass and square of velocity.

K.E. =
`(1)/(2)` × mass × v²

Kinetic energy =
`(1)/(2) * (8)/(1000) * 15`

Since, the weight is given in grams , it needed to be converted into kg.

Kinetic energy = 0.06 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of toast is 0.06 J.
