7. What is the kinetic energy of a 3-kilogram ball that is rolling at 2 meters per
second?
Ek= 1/2* m * v^2
Ek= 1/2 * 3 kg * 2 m/s
Ek= 6 J

8. The potential energy of an apple is 6.00 joules. The apple is 3.00-meters high.
What is the mass of the apple?
Ep= m *g* h
6 J= m* 10 m/s* 3 m
6/ 10 /3 = m
m= 0.2 kg

9. a. Ek for object 1 = 1/2 * m * v

Ek= 0.5 * 2 kg * 2 m/s^2
Ek= 4 J
Ek for object 2 = 1/2 * m* v
Ek= 0.5* 4 kg* 3 m/s
Ek= 18 J
The second object with a mass of 4 kg has more kinetic energy

b. Ep for object 1 = m* g* h
Ep= 2 kg * 10 m/s * 10 m
Ep= 200 J
Ep for object 2= m* g *h

the second object

10. a. W= m* g
W= 60 kg* 10 m/s
W= 600 N

c. Ep= m* g *h
1000 J = 60 kg* 10 m/s * h
h= 1.67 m
potential= kinetic
Ep = Ek
m* g* h= 1/2 * m* v^2
60 kg* 10 m/s * 1.667 m = 0.5* 60 kg * v ^2
1000 J = 30 * V^2
v^2 = 33.3
v= 5.77 m/s

11. Ek= 1/2 * m* v^2

Ek= 1/2* 1 kg* 30 m/s

b. Ek= Ep
30 J = m* g* h
30 J = 1 kg * 10 m/s* h
h= 3 m

12. the ball has no potential energy it is 0 J because it is not at a distance away
from the ground

Ek= 0.5 * 2000 kg* 5^2
Ek= 25000 J

14. Ek= 1/2 * m* v^2

4000 J = 0.5* 500 kg * v^2
v^2 = 16
v= 4 m/s

15. Ek= 1/2 * m *v^2

33750 J= 0.5* m * 30^2
m= 75 kg
