The kinetic energy of a moving body can be determined from its mass and velocity of the body. The kinetic energy of 1.0-kg billiard ball that moves at 5.0 m/s is 12.5 J. Hence, option D is correct.
Kinetic energy is a form of energy generated in body by virtue of its motion. It is directly proportional to the mass and square of velocity of the body. The equation of kinetic energy is written as follows:
KE = 1/2 mv²
When a body starts moving its kinetic starts to increase while the potential energy drops out. However the total mechanical energy in the system will be conserved.
The mass of the billiard ball is given 1 kg and the velocity is 5 m/s. Then the kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:
KE = 1/2 1 kg × ( 5 m/s )².
= 1/2 × 25
= 12.5 J.
Therefore, the kinetic energy of 1.0-kg billiard ball that moves at 5.0 m/s is 12.5 J. Hence, option D is correct.
