Question
A moving body of mass 10 kg has 20 Joules of kinetic energy. Calculate the speed of the body. [Ans. 2 m/s]
Answer
Mass (m) = 10 kg
Kinetic Energy (KE) = 20 J
Speed (v) = To be calculated
Kinetic Energy (KE) = {1\over2}×m×v^2
or, {1\over2}×10×v^2 = 20
or, v2 = 20 × 2\over 10
or, speed (v) = √4 = 2 m/s
