Three objects are set in motion, a 4.4 kg object at 1.6 m/s, a 3.0 kg object at 3.0 m/s, and a 1.6 kg object at 4.4 m/s. which object has the most kinetic energy?

Answer :

The third object has the most kinetic energy (15.49 joule).

We need to know about kinetic energy to solve this problem. kinetic energy can be defined as the energy of moving object. It can be determined by

KE = 1/2 . m . v²

where KE is kinetic energy, m is mass and v is speed of object.

From the question above, we know that:

m1 = 4.4 kg

m2 = 3.0 kg

m3 = 1.6 kg

v1 = 1.6 m/s

v2 = 3.0 m/s

v3 = 4.4 m/s

Find the kinetic energy

KE1 = 1/2 . m1 . v1²

KE1 = 1/2 . 4.4 . 1.6²

KE1 = 5.632 joule

KE2 = 1/2 . m2 . v2²

KE2 = 1/2 . 3. 3²

KE2 = 13.5 joule

KE3 = 1/2 . m3 . v3²

KE3 = 1/2 . 1.6 . 4.4²

KE3 = 15.49 joule

Hence, the third object has the most kinetic energy (15.49 joule).
