Weighing 12471

Compare the kinetic energy of a man weighing 80 kg who runs at a speed of 2 m/s and missiles weighing 20 g fired at 400 m/s.

Correct answer:

E1 =  160 J
E2 =  1600 J

Step-by-step explanation:

m1=80 kg v1=2 m/s  E1=21 m1 v12=21 80 22=160 J
m2=20 g kg=20:1000  kg=0.02 kg v2=400 m/s  E2=21 m2 v22=21 501 4002=1600=1600 J  E2>E1
