Kinetic energy = (1/2) (m) (v^2)

The question tells us (m) and (v) .

KE = (1/2) (10kg) (10 m/s)^2

KE = (5 kg) (100 m^2/s^2)

KE = 500 N-m

KE = 500 Joules

Answer:

C. 500 J

Explanation:The equation of Kinetic energy is KE = (mv^2)/2 therefore here m, which is mass, is 10 and v, which is velocity, is 10 as well. So KE = (10x10^2)/2 = 1000/2 = 500. And there we get the answer as 500 hence the answer is C. 500J
