A paper clip that has a mass of 1.5 grams is thrown into the air and initially has a kinetic energy of 0.013 J.
Calculate the velocity of the paper clip when it is thrown (rounding your answer to the nearest tenth).

Velocity ___________ m/s

Respuesta :

answer

v = 4.2[tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

set up an equation

we can use the formula for kinetic energy since we know mass and kinetic energy

K = [tex]\frac{mv^{2}}{2}[/tex]

v = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m} }[/tex]

values

K = 0.013 J

m = 1.5g = 0.0015 kg

plug in values

v = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*0.013}{0.0015} }[/tex]

v = 4.2[tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
