Question

Find the kinetic energy of a 0.1-kilogram toy truck moving at the speed of 1.1 meters per second.

Kinetic energy = .5mv^2
M =motion
V = velocity or speed

Answer 1

0.061 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

`K=(1)/(2)mv^2`

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the toy truck in the problem, we have

m = 0.1 kg is its mass

v = 1.1 m/s is its speed

Putting the numbers into the equation, we find

`K=(1)/(2)(0.1 kg)(1.1 m/s)^2=0.061 J`
