Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of an 80.0 g bullet traveling at 300.0 m/s.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity.

To solve for the kinetic energy of the bullet in this question, we can substitute the given values:

KE = 1/2 (0.080 kg) (300.0 m/s)^2

KE = 1/2 (0.080 kg) (90,000 m^2/s^2)

KE = 3,600 J

Therefore, the correct answer is choice C, 3.60 × 10^3 J.
