Carlo, having a mass of 50kg, running to the next classroom for his next subject. If his running speed is 10m/s, what is his kinetic energy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Kinetic energy = 2500 J

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the kinetic energy of an object, we can use the following formula:

[tex]\boxed{E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2}[/tex],

where:

[tex]E_k[/tex] = kinetic energy

m = mass of the object

v = speed of the object

In this question, we are told that Carlo's mass is 50 kg and his speed is 10 m/s. Using this information and the formula above, we can calculate Carlo's kinetic energy:

[tex]E_k = \frac{1}{2} \times 50 \times (10)^2[/tex]

     [tex]= \frac{1}{2} \times 50 \times 100[/tex]

     [tex]= \bf 2500 \: J[/tex]

Therefore, Carlo's kinetic energy is 2500 J.
