An object of mass 2 kg has linear momentum magnitude 6 kg*m//s. What is this object's kinetic energy?
Answer»
3J 6J 9J 12J
Solution :The magnitude of the object's LINEARMOMENTUM is `p=MV`. If `p=6kg*m//s and m=2kg`, then v=3m/s. therefore, the object's kinetic energy is `K=(1)/(2)mv^(2)=(1)/(2)(2kg)(3m//s)^(2)=9J`.
