Answer:
273.9m/s
Explanation:
Given parameter:
Kinetic energy of the ball = 4.5kJ
Mass of the ball = 120g
Unknown:
Speed of the ball = ?
Solution:
Kinetic energy of a body is the energy due to the motion of a body.
K.E = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] m v²
where m is the mass
v is the speed
Convert the quantities to the appropriate units;
4.5kJ to J = 4.5 x 10³J
120g to kg = 0.12kg
Now insert the parameters and find the unknown:
4500 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 0.12 x V²
9000 = 0.12V²
V² = [tex]\frac{9000}{0.12}[/tex] = 75000
V = 273.9m/s
