An object with a mass of 30 kg moving with a velocity of 5 m/s. What is the kinetic energy possessed by the object?

An object with a mass of 30 kg moving with a velocity of 5 m/s. What is the kinetic energy possessed by the object? Correct Answer 375 J

Concept:

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy needed to move the 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 object

V = Velocity of object

Calculation:

Given that,

m = 30 kg,

v = 5 m/s

Now as explained above kinetic energy is given as

∴ K.E = ½ × 30× 5²

K.E = 375 J
