The unit of
Explanation:
This answer may not be the quickest or simplest way to solve this question, but what I'm going to do here is share my own thinking process.
The unit of kinetic energy is the joule (J), but that's not so helpful for this kind of question. Let's try it another way:
That is, the kinetic energy is made up of mass measured in
That means the units of kinetic energy are
Now, the question says that the units of
Canceling out the mass on the left with its units on the right, we get the units of
Taking the square root of both sides, the unit of
