A motorcycle is traveling with a velocity of 4 m/s and has a mass of 112 kg. Calculate its kinetic energy.

Answer :

Answer: 896J

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of motorcycle = 112kg

kinetic energy = ?

velocity of the motorcycle = 4m/s

Since kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves. Therefore, the motorcycle has kinetic energy

i.e K.E = 1/2mv^2

KE = 1/2 x 112kg x (4m/s)^2

KE = 0.5 x 112 x 16

KE = 896J

Thus, the motorcycle has 896 joules of kinetic energy.
