A dog with a mass of 5 kilograms has 250 joules of kinetic energy when moving at what speed? Smarty  Which is the equation you would need to solve after substituting? A. 250= ½ m(5)2 Refer back to the last 3 questions to see what can be substituted for each variable Working! B. = ½(5)(250)2 C. 250= ½(5)v2 Refer back to the last 3 questions to see what can be substituted for each variable D. 5= ½ (250)v2 Refer back to the last 3 questions to see what can be substituted for each variable Click on the yellow star above that you think is the correct answer.

Click on the yellow star above that you think is the correct answer. The kinetic energy of an object can be found with the formula , where is the energy in joules, m is the mass in kilograms, and v is the velocity in meters per second. A dog with a mass of 5 kilograms has 250 joules of kinetic energy when moving at what speed? Way to Go! Which is the solution to this problem? A. 5 meters per second Take the equation from the last slide and solve for v. Working! B. 10 meters per second Take the equation from the last slide and solve for v. C. 50 meters per second D. 100 meters per second Remember if you have v2=100, you need to take the square root of both sides to solve for v. Click on the yellow star above that you think is the correct answer.

Here is the work for this problem so you can check your work. The kinetic energy of an object can be found with the formula , where is the energy in joules, m is the mass in kilograms, and v is the velocity in meters per second. A dog with a mass of 5 kilograms has 250 joules of kinetic energy when moving at what speed? Here is the work for this problem so you can check your work. 250= ½(5)v2 250=2.5v2 multiply ½ times 5 100=v2 Divide both sides by 2.5 10=v  Take the square root of both sides
