Kinetic Energy

Question 2 • 350CR Integrated Science

An 82 kg jogger has 810 J of kinetic energy. What is the jogger’s velocity?

Answer
A
4.4 m/s
B
9.9 m/s
C
19 m/s

Explanation

Use the kinetic energy formula, KE = ½mv², and solve for velocity: v = √(2KE/m). Substituting the values gives v = √(2 × 810 J ÷ 82 kg) ≈ √19.76 ≈ 4.4 m/s. The jogger’s velocity is 4.4 m/s, choice A.
