calculate the kinetic energy in joules, possessed in each of the following scenarios and matches with the correct answer. ke=1/2 mv^2. 75 KG man walking at 1.0 m/s
To calculate the kinetic energy, we can use the formula:
KE = (1/2) * m * v^2
Given:
m = 75 kg
v = 1.0 m/s
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
KE = (1/2) * 75 kg * (1.0 m/s)^2
Calculating further:
KE = (1/2) * 75 kg * (1.0 m/s)^2
KE = (1/2) * 75 kg * 1.0 m^2/s^2
KE = 37.5 kg * m^2/s^2
Therefore, the kinetic energy possessed by the 75 kg man walking at 1.0 m/s is 37.5 Joules.
