A 15.0-kilogram mass is moving at 7.50 meters per second on a horizontal, frictionless surface. What is the
total work that must be done on the mass to increase its speed to 11.5 meters per second?

ashley --- HELP PLEASEE!!!

  1. work done = change in kinetic energy

    = (1/2) (15)(11.5^2 - 7.5^2)
