Kinetic Energy — Quiz

Question 3 • Physics

A 60 point 0 kilograms runner is moving at 6.00 meters per second and speeds up to 9.00 meters per second The runner’s change in kinetic energy is 1 comma 350 cap j How much work was done?

Answer
A
negative 1 comma 350 cap j
B
2 comma 430 cap j
C
negative 2 comma 430 cap j
D
1 comma 350 cap j

Explanation

By the work–energy theorem, the net work done on the runner equals the change in kinetic energy: W = ΔKE. Since the runner’s kinetic energy increases by 1,350 J, the work done is positive 1,350 J. The correct choice is D, 1,350 J.
