determine the mechanical energy of this object: 1-kg ball rolls on the ground at 2 m/s

A. The ball is on the ground, so the mechanical energy is zero
B. 2 J
C. 1 J
D. 4 J

Respuesta :

The potential energy would be zero. Only kinetic energy is present in this case. To find out what the answer is we do the equation: mv^2/2 soo...

KE =mv^2/2 
KE= 1(2^2)/2 which the answer will come up by 2 Joules.

The answer is 2 Joules.
