Answers:
8 kg
Explanation:
Kinetic Energy = (mass × velocity × velocity) ÷ 2
We know that Kinetic Energy = 400 J and velocity = 10 m/s.
KE = (m × v × v) ÷ 2
400 J = (m × 10 m/s × 10 m/s) ÷ 2
400 J = m × 50 m^2/s^2
To find the mass you will divide 400 J and 50 m^2/s^2.
m = 8 kg
You can also check it if it gives you 400 J.
KE = (m × v × v) ÷ 2
KE = (8 kg × 10 m/s × 10 m/s) ÷ 2
KE = 400 J
So this means that the mass is 8 kg. I know that it is a bit confusing, but when you do J (joules) ÷ m^2/s^2 = kg (kilograms). Hope this helps, thank you !!
