Colby’s dog was running in the park with a speed of 28 m/s. If is dog had 6000 J of kinetic energy, find his dog’s mass.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The dog's mass is 15.3kg.

Explanation:

Given that the formula for kinetic energy is k.e = 1/2×m×v² where m represents mass and v is the velocity. Then, you have to substitute the following values into the formula :

[tex]k.e = \frac{1}{2} \times m \times {v}^{2} [/tex]

Let k.e = 6000,

Let v = 28,

[tex]6000 = \frac{1}{2} \times m \times {28}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]6000 \div 784 = \frac{1}{2} \times m[/tex]

[tex] \frac{1}{2} \times m = \frac{375}{49} [/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{375}{49} \div \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{375}{49} \times 2[/tex]

[tex] m = \frac{750}{49} [/tex]

[tex]m = 15.3kg \: (3s.f)[/tex]
