Question

A 0.15 kg baseball has a kinetic energy of 18 J. What is its speed? (Round you answer to one decimal place)

Answer 1

Answer: The speed is 15.5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy can be written as:

K = (1/2)*m*v^2

where m is the mass and v is the speed.

Then we have that:

18 j = (1/2)*0.15kg*v^2

Now we solve this for v.

√(18*2/0.15) = v

15.5 m/s = v
