8. What is the kinetic energy of the 80kg skydiver if he is moving at 60m/s?

Respuesta :

Ek means kinetic energy
m is mass (kg)
v is velocity (m/s)

Ek= 1/2 m v^2
= 0.5*80kg*(60m/s)^2
= 144 000 J

Answer:

Kinetic Energy =144000 Joules

Explanation:

Hello, I can help you with this

In physics, the kinetic energy of a body is that energy it possesses due to its movement. It is defined as the work necessary to accelerate a body of a certain mass from rest to the indicated speed

and it is given by:

Kinetic Energy =[tex]\frac{m*v^{2} }{2}[/tex]

the units are

[tex]\frac{1 }{2}Kg*\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } =1\ Joule\\[/tex]

Step 1

define

mass=80kg

speed=60 m/s

Step 2

put the values into the equation

[tex]E=\frac{m*v^{2} }{2}\\E=\frac{80kg*(\frac{60m}{s}) ^{2} }{2}\\E=\frac{80kg*(\frac{3600m}{s^{2} }) }{2}\\E=144000 Joules[/tex]

Have a good day.
