A 58-kg boy swings a baseball bat, which causes 0 0.140-kg baseball to move toward third base with velocity f 38.0 m/s. Calculate the kinetic energy of the baseball(rounding your answer to the integer)

Respuesta :

Answer:

101 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

[tex]K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the baseball in this problem,

m = 0.140 kg

v = 38.0 m/s

Substituting into the equation, we find the kinetic energy of the ball:

[tex]K=\frac{1}{2}(0.140)(38.0)^2=101 J[/tex]
