Answer:
Mass, M = 4 kilograms.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Kinetic energy = 50 J
Velocity = 5 m/s
To find the mass of the object;
Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.
Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;
[tex] K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}[/tex]
Where;
K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
M represents mass measured in kilograms.
V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.
Making mass the subject formula;
[tex] M = \frac{2K.E}{V^{2}}[/tex]
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] M = \frac{2*50}{5^{2}}[/tex]
[tex] M = \frac{100}{25}[/tex]
Mass, M = 4 kg
