Question

A ball weighing 0.5 kg has a kinetic energy of 1 joule when its speed is:

  1. 1 m/s
  2. 2 m/s
  3. 3 m/s
  4. 4 m/s

hintHint:

Kinetic energy can be calculated by 1 halfmv2

The correct answer is: 2 m/s


    Given:
    Mass of the ball = 0.5 kg
    Kinetic energy = 1 J
    To find: 
    Speed of the ball =?
    Solution:
    K E space equals space 1 half cross times m cross times v squared
1 space equals space 1 half cross times 0.5 space cross times space v squared
v squared space equals space fraction numerator 2 over denominator 0.5 end fraction space equals space 4
v equals space 2 m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent
    Hence the speed of the ball is 2 ms-1
