What is the mass of an object travelling at 15 m/s with a kinetic energy of 100 J?
Kinetic Energy (Ek) = 1/2(mv2).This can be rearranged such that, m = (2Ek)/v2we know from the question that Ek = 100 J and we know that v = 15 m/sso plugging in the numbers, we get m = (2 x 100)/(15)2 = 200/225 = 0.89 Kg (to 3 significant figures)
