1. Convert units:
* Mass: 62.0 g = 0.062 kg (1 kg = 1000 g)
* Velocity: 150 km/h = 41.67 m/s (1 km = 1000 m, 1 hour = 3600 seconds)
2. Apply the kinetic energy formula:
Kinetic Energy (KE) = (1/2) * mass * velocity²
3. Plug in the values:
KE = (1/2) * 0.062 kg * (41.67 m/s)²
4. Calculate:
KE ≈ 54.1 Joules (J)
Therefore, the kinetic energy of the tennis ball is approximately 54.1 Joules.
