An object with a mass of 40 kg is moving with a velocity of 6 m/s. What is the kinetic energy possessed by the object? Correct Answer 720 J

  • Kinetic energy is defined as the energy needed to move a body of mass m from one point to another with stated velocity v.
  • Kinetic energy is given as:
     

K.E = ½ × m V2

Where K.E = Kinetic Energy

M = mass of an object

V = Velocity of object

Here, given, m = 40 kg, v = 6 m/s

∴ K.E = ½ × 40× 62

K.E = 720 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the object is 720 J.
