Megan kicks a soccer ball with a mass of 2 kg. The ball leaves the ground moving 50 meters per second. What is the kinetic energy of the ball?

Respuesta :

ANSWER

[tex]2500J[/tex]

EXPLANATION

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy it possesses due to its motion and it can be found by applying the formula:

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

where m = mass, v = velocity

From the question:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=2\text{ kg} \\ v=50\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the ball is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} E=\frac{1}{2}\cdot2\cdot50^2 \\ E=2500J \end{gathered}[/tex]
