The correct answer is 137.5 J.

  • Given, mass (m) = 11 kg, velocity (v) = 5 ms-1.
    Kinetic energy = \({1\over 2} mv^2\)
    So, the kinetic energy of the object is \({1 \over 2}*11*5^2 = 137.5\) J.

Key Points

  • It is the energy of object mass in motion.
  • When an objects' mass doubles, its kinetic energy also doubles.
  • When an objects' speed doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.
  • When a pendulum goes uphill (top point), it loses kinetic energy.
