Kinetic Energy — Quiz

Question 4 • Physics

A 20 point 0 kilograms object is at rest, and then speeds up to 16.0 meters per second How much work was done on this system?

Answer
A
2 comma 880 cap j
B
5 comma 120 cap j
C
2 comma 560 cap j
D
320 cap j

Explanation

By the work–energy theorem, the work done equals the change in kinetic energy. Starting from rest, the change is ½(20.0 kg)(16.0 m/s)² = 2,560 J, so the correct choice is 2,560 J.
