Question

A rolling ball has 8 joules of kinetic energy and is rolling 4m/s. Find it’s mass

Answer 1

m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

K.E = 8J

v = 4m/s

m = ?

Now,

K.E = 1÷2mv^2

8 = 1÷2 × m × (4)^2

8 = 1÷2 × m × 16

8 = m × 8

m × 8 = 8

m = 8 ÷ 8 = 1

m = 1

VERIFICATION:

K.E. = 1÷2mv^2

K.E = 1÷2 × 1 × 4^2

K.E. = 8J
