9. Calculate the kinetic or potential energy in joules for each of the following situations: a. A 2.5 kg book is held 2.0 m above the ground. b Anabolieman​

Answer :

Explanation:

[tex]kinetic \: energy = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\ but \: {v}^{2} = {u}^{2} + 2gh \\ {v}^{2} = 0 + (2 \times 10 \times 2) \\ v = 6.32 \: m {s}^{ - 1} \\ k.e = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.5 \times 6.32 {}^{2} \\ = 50 \: joules[/tex]

[tex]potential \: energy = mgh \\ = 2.5 \times 2 \times 10 \\ = 50 \: joules[/tex]
