  • Calculating Kinetic Energy of a Tennis Ball: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the kinetic energy of the tennis ball:

    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.
