Multi-step problem:
An object has a density of 4 k/L. It's volume is 4 L. Find its mass.
That same object generates a force of 48 Newtons. Using its mass and the force find its acceleration.
Using the found acceleration, solve for its velocity (un-square it). Now solve for the kinetic energy of this object.
What is the kinetic energy of this object?
Density= mass/volume. 4 = m/4. Mass: 16 grams
F=mass x acceleration. 48N =16 kg x acceleration. 48/16 = 4 m/sec squared
KE= 1/2 mass x velocity squared. KE = 1/2 (16) x 2m/sec squared
Final answer: KE = 32 joules of kinetic energy
