Question

A 58-kg boy swings a baseball bat, which causes a 0.140-kg baseball to move toward 3rd base with a velocity of 38.0 m/s.
Calculate the kinetic energy of the baseball (rounding your answer to the integer).

Kinetic Energy __________ J

Answer 1

Answer:
101 J
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of an object is given by

where
m is the mass of the object
v is its speed
For the baseball in this problem,
m = 0.140 kg
v = 38.0 m/s
Substituting into the equation, we find the kinetic energy of the ball:
