A tennis ball of mass 60 g travels at a speed of 20 m/s.
Use the equation: kinetic energy=0.5×mass×(speed)2\text{kinetic energy} = 0.5 \times \text{mass} \times (\text{speed})^2kinetic energy=0.5×mass×(speed)2
What is the kinetic energy of the ball?
0.6 J0.6\ \text{J}0.6 J
1.2 J1.2\ \text{J}1.2 J
12 J12\ \text{J}12 J
12 000 J12\,000\ \text{J}12000 J
