Kinetic energy is defined as the energy the object possess due to its motion. It is the work that accelerates a given body from rest to motion.
Given:
The mass of the canoe is 23 kilogram
The velocity of the canoe is 3 m/s
The kinetic energy can be given by the formula:
KE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}.m.v^{2}[/tex]
Substituting the given values in the kinetic energy equation
KE =[tex]\frac{1}{2}.(23kg).(3m/s)^{2}[/tex]
KE= 11.5 * 9 kg.m^2/s^2
k = 103.5 J
Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe is 103.5 Joules.
