What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 50kg and is and it is traveling at a rate of 60m/s.

90,000 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be found using the following formula.

where m is the mass in kilograms and v is the velocity in m/s.

We know the object has a mass of 50 kilograms. We also know it is a traveling at a rate of 60 m/s. Velocity is the speed of something, so the velocity of the object is 60 m/s.

m=50

v=60

Substitute these values into the formula.

First, evaluate the exponent: 60^2. 60^2 is the same as multiplying 60, 2 times.

60^2=60*60=3,600

Multiply 50 and 3,600

Multiply 1/2 and 3,600, or divide 3,600 by 2.

Add appropriate units. Kinetic energy uses Joules, or J.

The kinetic energy of the object is 90,000 Joules

54 degrees incident angle = reflected angle

angle is from normal turned to line of ray
