Calculate the Kinetic energy of an object that is 2 kg traveling at 3m/s
KE = 1/2 mv^2
To calculate the kinetic energy of an object, you can use the equation:
Kinetic Energy (KE) = (1/2) * mass * velocity^2
Given that the mass of the object is 2 kg and the velocity is 3 m/s, we can plug these values into the equation to find the solution.
KE = (1/2) * 2 kg * (3 m/s)^2
First, square the velocity:
KE = (1/2) * 2 kg * 9 m^2/s^2
Next, simplify the calculation:
KE = 1 kg * 9 m^2/s^2
Finally, multiply the numerical values:
KE = 9 kg * m^2/s^2
Therefore, the kinetic energy of the object is 9 joules (J).
