A 4 kg object is moving at a speed of 5 m/sec. How much kinetic energy does the object have? A. 10 joules B. 20 joules C. 50 joules D. 100 joules

The kinetic energy of the given moving object is 50 J. The  Kinetic energy of an object is the energy due to its motion.

The  Kinetic energy of an object is the energy due to its motion. It can be given as

Where,

- mass = 4 kg

- velocity =  5 m/sec.

Put the values in the formula,

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the given moving object is 50 J.

A. 10 joules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of object  = 4kg

Speed  = 5m/s

Unknown:

Kinetic energy of the the object  = ?

Solution:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to a moving body.

So;

           mathematically;

    K.E  = x m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

  K.E  =    x 4 x 5  = 10J
