a jogger with a mass of 60.0kg is moving at a speed of 3.0m/s. what is the jogger's kinetic energy?
KE=270 joules
Can you show me the steps to this answer please.
KE = 1/2(m)(v^2)
KE = 1/2 * 60 * 3^2 = ?
a jogger whose mass is 60 kg is moving at a speed of 3 m/s
Nicee
Tysmmm!!
Well, the formula for calculating kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 * mass * speed^2.
So, let's plug in the given values:
Mass = 60.0 kg
Speed = 3.0 m/s
Now, we apply the formula:
KE = 1/2 * 60.0 kg * (3.0 m/s)^2
KE = 1/2 * 60.0 kg * 9.0 m^2/s^2
And, performing the calculations:
KE = 0.5 * 60.0 kg * 9.0 m^2/s^2
KE = 270 joules
Voila! The jogger's kinetic energy is 270 joules.
Sure! The formula to calculate kinetic energy is: KE = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2.
Step 1: Write down the given information.
- Mass of the jogger = 60.0 kg
- Velocity of the jogger = 3.0 m/s
Step 2: Plug the given values into the formula for kinetic energy.
KE = 1/2 * 60.0 kg * (3.0 m/s)^2
Step 3: Simplify the equation.
KE = 1/2 * 60.0 kg * 9.0 m^2/s^2
KE = 270 joules
Therefore, the kinetic energy of the jogger is 270 joules.
