5. An object has a kinetic energy of 14 J and a mass of 17 kg, how fast is the object moving?

Question

Answer 1

To find the speed of the object, we can use the formula for kinetic energy:

where:-

is the kinetic energy,-

is the mass,-

is the velocity.Given:-

-

We need to solve for

:

First, multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction:

Next, divide both sides by 17:

Finally, take the square root of both sides to solve for

:

So, the object is moving at approximately
