Ashlyn threw a 1.6 kg ball. If she used 122 Joules of work to throw the ball, what was the initial velocity of the ball as it left her hand?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]12.35\:\mathrm{m/s}[/tex]

Explanation:

We can use the work-energy theorem to solve this problem. The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object will be equal to that object's change in kinetic energy. Thus, we have the following equation:

[tex]W=\Delta KE,\\W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-0,\\122=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1.6\cdot v^2,\\v^2=152.5,\\v\approx \boxed{12.35\:\mathrm{m/s}}[/tex]
