Happy Holidays!

Recall the equation for kinetic energy:

[tex]\large\boxed{KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2}}[/tex]

KE = kinetic energy (J)

m = mass (kg)

v = velocity (m/s)

Begin by converting 120 g to kg:

1000g = 1 kg

120 g = .120 kg

Plug in the given values:

[tex]KE = \frac{1}{2}(.120)(40^2) = \boxed{96J}[/tex]

Answer:

96 Joules

Explanation:

[tex]E_k=1/2* mass*velocity^2\\E_k=1/2 * 0.12 kg * (40m/s)^2 = 96 J[/tex]
