Find the kinetic of a 0.1 kilogram toy truck moving at a speed of 1.1 meters per second

KE = kinetic energy

PE = potential energy

GPE = gravitational potential energy

energy is always measured in Joules (J)

KE = (0.5) times the mass times the velocity^2

square the velocity first

Mass = (KE x 2) / v^2

square the velocity first, then double the kinetic energy, then divide

mass is measured in kg

velocity = sqrt (KE x 2 / m)

velocity can be called speed, like in the the second problem

remember to find the square root after you double the KE and divide that by the mass.

for example: if after you doubled KE and divided it by the mass you got sqrt (20), the answer would be about 4.47

GPE = mass x gravitational pull (about 9.8 m/s^2 on earth) x height

height = (PE) / (g x m)

do g x m first

So for question 1:

KE = (0.5) 0.1 x 1.1^2

always square the velocity first:

KE = (0.5) 0.1 x 1.21

KE = 0.0605

so if you rounded it to the nearest hundreths you would get KE = 0.06 J

don't forget the unit of energy is in Joules
