What is the first step in solving for speed (V) using kinetic energy and mass?

• Cover V squared

• Multiply kinetic energy by mass

• Directly find the square root of kinetic energy

• Calculate the mass first

If the kinetic energy is 2 joules and the mass is 0.09 kg, what is the calculated V squared?

• 11.1

• 88.8

• 22.2

• 44.4

What is the speed (V) when V squared equals 80?

• 8.4 m/s

• 9.0 m/s

• 7.5 m/s

• 10.0 m/s

Why is it important to square root V squared when calculating speed?

• To simplify the equation

• To convert energy to speed

• To ensure the speed is realistic

• To find the correct mass

How do you rearrange the equation to solve for mass (M) using kinetic energy and speed?

• M = kinetic energy * 0.5 * V squared

• M = kinetic energy / (0.5 * V)

• M = kinetic energy / (0.5 * V squared)

• M = kinetic energy * V squared

What is the mass if the kinetic energy is 10,000 joules and the speed is 20 m/s?

• 150 kg

• 200 kg

• 100 kg

• 50 kg

If the kinetic energy is 20,000 joules and the speed is 10 m/s, what is the mass?

• 500 kg

• 300 kg

• 200 kg

• 400 kg

What is the purpose of covering 'em' in the equation?

• To find the speed
