Answer to Question #99924 in Mechanics | Relativity for Azka

Question

Given that the kinetic energy of an object is 100 J. If the mass of object is 2kg then find its speed.

Answer 1

From the formula for determining kinetic energy

$E_k=\frac{m \cdot v^2}{2}$

we write

$v^2=\frac{2 \cdot E_k}{m}$

then we get

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot E_k}{m} }=\sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 100}{2} }=\sqrt{100 }=10[m/s]$
