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.
