Answer:
75 kg.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Kinetic energy (KE) = 937.5 J
Velocity (v) = 5 m/s
Mass (m) =?
Kinetic energy (KE), mass (m) and velocity (v) of an object are related according to the following equation:
KE = ½mv²
With the above formula, we can obtain the mass of the object as illustrated below:
Kinetic energy (KE) = 937.5 J
Velocity (v) = 5 m/s
Mass (m) =?
KE = ½mv²
937.5 = ½ × m × 5²
937.5 = ½ × m × 25
937.5 = m × 12.5
Divide both side by 12.5
m = 937.5 / 12.5
m = 75 Kg
Therefore, the mass of the object is 75 Kg.
