please help me !! :(

Question

Calculate the kinetic energy contained in a 25 kg bicycle travelling at 10 m/s. Show all work for full credit. (KE=1/2 mv2)

Answer 1

The equation for Kinetic energy is KE = 1/2(m)(v)² where m is mass and v is velocity. This problem states that you are looking for the kinetic energy (KE) of a bicycle with mass 25 kg traveling at 10 m/s. So m = 25 kg and v = 10 m/s.

When we plug these values into the KE equation, we get

KE = 1/2(25 kg)(10 m/s)²

= 1/2(25 kg)(100 m²/s²)

= 1250 kg*m²/s²

= 1250 Joules

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any further clarification.
