Question

A sphere of mass 15 kg possess kinetic energy of 1200 J. Calculate its
velocity

Answer 1

12.65 Meters / Second (m/s)

Step-by-step explanation:

the problem is really easy to solve, we begin by stating the kinetic energy formula which is:

KE = (1/2)(mass)(velocity)^2

We equate 1200 J to the formula, substitute the mass, and solve for velocity either using a CAS, app, or by hand

1200J = (0.5)(15kg)v^2

v = 12.65 m/s
