  • Calculate Velocity from Kinetic Energy: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the speed of the object:

    1. Understand the Formula

    The formula for kinetic energy (KE) is:

    KE = (1/2) * mv²

    Where:

    * KE = Kinetic energy (in joules)

    * m = mass (in kilograms)

    * v = velocity (in meters per second)

    2. Rearrange the Formula to Solve for Velocity (v)

    * 2KE = mv²

    * v² = 2KE / m

    * v = √(2KE / m)

    3. Plug in the Values

    * KE = 300 joules

    * m = 0.05 kilograms

    v = √(2 * 300 joules / 0.05 kilograms)

    4. Calculate

    v = √(12000) ≈ 109.54 meters per second

    Therefore, the object will be moving at approximately 109.54 meters per second.
