What is the kinetic energy of a 3 kg object moving at a speed of 4 m/s?.
- A.24 J
- B.30 J
- C.36 J
- D.48 J
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- 24 J.
- the correct option
Explanation
Why this works
The correct answer is 24 J. This supports Use kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy equations.
in Work, energy and power because it uses the required mechanics relationship directly. The other options are less suitable because they confuse a different force, motion, energy, momentum, or materials concept.
