Find the kinetic energy of a body with a mass of 50 g of a moving body with a speed of 10 m s.

Problem data: m (body weight) = 50 g (in SI m = 0.05 kg); V (speed of movement of a given body) = 10 m / s.

To determine the kinetic energy of a given body, we apply the formula: Ek = m * V ^ 2/2.

Let’s make a calculation: Ek = 0.05 * 10 ^ 2/2 = 2.5 J.

Answer: The given body had a kinetic energy of 2.5 J.
