The formula to get the Kinetic Energy is KE=1/2mv^2 where m=mass in kilogram and v=velocity of the object. From you given, we substitute it to the variables. This is the solution:
KE=1/2mv^2
KE=1/2(55kg)(9.0m/s)^2
KE=1/2(4455)
KE=2227.5J
or it can be written in scientific notation as 2.2275x10^3J or closest to your choices is 2.2x10^3J.
The kinetic energy of the skier is 2.2×10³ J and the right option is (3) 2.2×10³ J.
To calculate the kinetic energy of the skier, we use the formula below.
Formula:
- K.E = mv²/2........... Equation 1
Where:
- K.E = Kinetic energy of the skier
- m = mass of the skier
- v = velocity of the skier.
From the question,
Given:
- m = 55 kg
- v = 9.0 m/s
Substitute these values into equation 1
- K.E = 55(9²)/2
- K.E = 55(81)/2
- K.E = 2227.5 J
- K.E = 2.2×10³ J.
Hence, the kinetic energy of the skier is 2.2×10³ J and the right option is (3) 2.2×10³ J.
