Step-by-step explanation:

If the kinetic energy of an object is given and we need to find its velocity of motion, then we can find it by using the formula of kinetic energy as :


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

m is mass of the object

We can rearrange the above equation such that,


v=\sqrt{(2K)/(m)}

Hence, this is the velocity at the end of a rollercoaster ride.
