A 5.00-kg sack of potatoes is raised to a height of 2.00 m and then thrown at a constant velocity of 2.00 m/s onto a truck. What is the kinetic energy of the potatoes?

Respuesta :

The kinetic energy of the potatoes thrown at velocity 2m/s is 10J.

What is kinetic energy?

The ability of an object to do work by virtue of its motion.

Kinetic energy is given by the expression

K.E = 1/2 mv²

where, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.

Given is the A 5.00-kg sack of potatoes is raised to a height of 2.00 m and then thrown at a constant velocity of 2.00 m/s onto a truck.

Substituting the value into the expression, we get

K.E = 1/2 x 5 x (2)²

K.E = 10 Joules.

Thus, the kinetic energy of the potatoes thrown at velocity 2m/s is 10J.
