Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a 2 kg object is moving with a velocity of 3 m/s, what is its kinetic energy?
  • Step 1: Identify the mass (m) of the object. In this case, m = 2 kg.
  • Step 2: Identify the velocity (v) of the object. Here, v = 3 m/s.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for kinetic energy: Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * m * v².
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * 2 kg * (3 m/s)².
  • Step 5: Calculate (3 m/s)², which is 9 m²/s².
  • Step 6: Multiply 0.5 * 2 kg = 1 kg.
  • Step 7: Now multiply 1 kg by 9 m²/s² to get 9 J.
  • Step 8: Conclude that the kinetic energy of the object is 9 Joules.
