44. ( John weighs 80 kg, and eats a 1,000 J candy bar. If his
body perfectly transforms the energy in the chocolate into
kinetic energy, what is the fastest he can run?

Respuesta :

John can run with the velocity of 5 m/s

Explanation:

  • Kinetic energy is defined as the energy is being used to do an activity, basically energy associated with the motion of objects in the universe.
  • The formula used to find the kinetic energy of an object is k = [tex]\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}[/tex] where as k represented as kinetic energy, m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the given object.
  • Here, to find the answer we have to re-write the equation as [tex]v = \sqrt[2]{\frac{2 k}{m} }[/tex]
  • Given, the mass of the object, here it is John = 80 kg, energy needs to be converted to kinetic energy, k = 1000  J.
  • Hence, substitute all the values, then you would velocity as 5 m/s
