A bowling ball travels at 2.0 m/s and has 16 J of kinetic energy. What is the mass of the bowling ball in kilograms?

Asked by snoopy03

Answer (2)

The mass of the bowling ball is 8 kilograms, which is found by rearranging the kinetic energy formula and substituting the given values of kinetic energy (16 joules) and velocity (2.0 m/s).

The mass of the bowling ball can be determined using the formula for kinetic energy:
KE = 0.5 * mass * velocity²
Given that the kinetic energy is 16 J and the velocity is 2.0 m/s, we can calculate the mass:
16 J = 0.5 * mass * (2.0 m/s)²
16 J = 0.5 * mass * 4
mass = 16 J / 2 kg = 8 kg
Therefore, the mass of the bowling ball is 8 kg.
