A 31 kg child is traveling at 4 m/s while sledding down a hill. What is the child's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill?

Respuesta :

Answer:

K.E = 248 J

Explanation:

Since the child is travelling at a given velocity. The kinetic energy of the child down the hill can be given by the following formula:

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

where,

m = mass of the child = 31 kg

v = velocity of the child = 4 m/s

Therefore,

[tex]K.E = \frac{1}{2}(31\ kg)(4\ m/s)^2\\[/tex]

K.E = 248 J
