Question

An object has a velocity of 8 m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 J. What is the mass of the object? (Formula: )

7.5 kg
15 kg
60 kg
120 kg

Answer 1

An object has a velocity of 8 m/s and a kinetic energy of 480 J. What is the mass of the object?

We have the following data:

KE (Kinetic Energy) = 480 J

m (mass) = ? (in Kg)

v (speed) = 8 m/s

15kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The mass is 15kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is

K = 1/2×mass×velocity^2

all we have to do is replace all we know into the formula.

480 = 1/2 × m × 8^2

Solving for m gets you that m=15kg
