Answer:
Kinetic energy of the shot is 400 Joules
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the shot, m = 8 kg
Speed of thrown, v = 10 m/s
We have to find the kinetic energy of the shot. It is given by the product of mass of an object and the square of velocity divided by 2 i.e.
[tex]KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]
[tex]KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 8\ kg\times (10\ m/s)^2[/tex]
KE = 400 Joules
Hence, the kinetic energy of the shot is 400 joules.
