Q. A particle of mass 2 mg moves with constant speed and is found to pass two points 5.0 m apart in a time interval of 5 ms. Find the kinetic energy of the particle
1) 1 J
2) 2 J
3) 3 J
4) 4 J
Answer:
1) 1 J
Solution:
Velocity = Distance/Time
= 5/5 x 10-3 m/s
= 1000 m/s
Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv2
= (1/2) x 2 x 10-3 (1000)2
= 1 J
