kinetic energy:
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of an object can be calculated with the formula:
color(blue)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(E_k=1/2mv^2)color(white)(a/a)|)))
ul("where") :
E_k= kinetic energy
m= mass
v= velocity
To find the kinetic energy, substitute your known values into the formula.
E_k=1/2mv^2
E_k=1/2(8kg)(5/2m/s)
E_k=color(green)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)10Jcolor(white)(a/a)|)))
