parameters given are :

mass(m)=20kg

height(h)=30m

acceleration due to gravity(g)=9.8m/s squared

But K.E=1/2MV`2 = mgh = 20x9.8x30 =5880 joules or 5.88 kilo-joules.

The kinetic energy of an object is given as .5mv2, where m is the mass of the object, and v is the velocity of the object. So in this case, we can't determine the kinetic energy directly, but we can determine the potential energy, which is given by mgh, where m is the mass, g is the gravitaional constant, and h is the height above the ground that the object falls from. We know that all of the potential energy is going to be converted into kinetic energy. So mgh = .5mv2. (20 kg)(9.8 m/s2)(30 m)= 5880J

vf2=vi2+2ad

Ek=1/2mv2

vf**2=0+2(9.81m/s**2)(30)

vf**2=588.6

Ek=0.5*20*588.6

Ek=5886 joules

What is a kinetic energy of an object that has a mass of 20 kilograms and a speed of 2.8 ms?

IKE = ½mv² = ½ × 20 kg × (2.8 m/s)² = 78.4 kgm²/s² = 78.4 J.


An object has a kinetic energy of 810 j after falling a certian distance if the mass of the object is 20 kg what is the speed of the object at this time?

Kinetic energyThe formula for kinetic energy, Ek, could not be simpler.Ek = (1/2)mv2, where m is mass (in kg) and v is velocity (in m s-1). If you prefer, you could write Ek = mv2/2.or, 810j=1/2*20Kg*v2or,v2=810j*2/20Kgor,v=sqrt of 81so,v=9m s-1


Define kinetic energy in terms of temperature?

The reverse is usually done .... Define temperature in terms of KE. The temperature of a body is proportional the the average Kinetic Energy of the particles (molecules or atoms) that make up the body. Can't be done the other way because a car traveling at 60 miles per hour has Kinetic energy which has nothing to do with temperature. The car doesn't care if is 100 degrees or 20 degrees.


Which would have greater effect on kinetic energy of an object - doubling the mass or doubling the velocity?

Doubling mass affects kinetic energy in that the greater the mass, the greater the kinetic energy. OK, but if you have a 10kg mass traveling at 2m/s and it bumps into and sticks to a 10g mass, the resultant speed would be 1m/s. The momentum stays the same. KE before is 10*2*2/2= 20, while the KE after is 20*1*1/2= 10. So it is not that the above answer is wrong, but rather, you question is not clear.


If the speed of a moving object is doubled the kinetic energy of the object is?

The relation between kinetic energy is proportional to the square of velocity. Momentum is directly proportional to velocity. If the momentum of an object is doubled, but its mass does not increase (so velocity remains well below the speed of light), then its velocity is doubled. If the velocity is doubled then the kinetic energy increases by the square of 2, or four time.
