Remembering that a Joule is a kgm2/s2 and using the Formula: find the

following pieces of information:

1. A baseball with a mass 2.5kg is thrown with a velocity of 25m/s, what is the
KE?

2. A gas molecule is traveling at 1609m/s with a KE of 5.69x10 4J, what is its

mass?

3. A toy car is being pushed with a velocity of 13m/s and it has a mass 350g,
what is its KE?
(Dont forget to convert grams to kilograms!)

4. A sample of monatomic chlorine is traveling through a tube at the rate of

25m/s, what is the chlorines KE? (Mass of Cl = 35.45g/mol Remember to
convert!)

5. As a person coughs the CO2 exits the lungs at speed of about 30m/s, what is
the KE?

6. A truck has a mass of 1134kg and a KE of 5.32x10 12J, what is the trucks
velocity?
