The kinetic energy possessed by a body of mass 2 kg is 100 J. The velocity of the body will be:
10 m/s
0 m/s
50 m/s
20 m/s
10 m/s
Calculating Velocity of a 2 kg Body with 100 J Kinetic Energy
v=m2×KE
SI unit of energy: Joules (J = kg·m²/s²).
Velocity is 10 m/s.
Kinetic Energy Formula
The kinetic energy possessed by an object of mass m moving with velocity v is given by: KE=21mv2
KE=21mv2
Solve for Velocity
100=21×2×v2v2=100⟹v=100=10 m/s
Velocity=10m/s
Option A is correct — 10 m/s
