Homework Statement
How fast is a baseball with a mass of 145 g traveling if it has 94 J of kinetic energy?
Homework Equations
m = 145 g or 0.0145 kg
Ek = 94 J
v = ?
v = √2Ek/m
The Attempt at a Solution
I get...
v = √2(94)/0.0145 kg
v = √12966
v = 114
But my book says it should be 36 m/s. What am I doing wrong?
It also mentions that I need to recall that 1 J = 1 kg . m^2/s^2 but I am unsure how to incorporate this into the equation or if it is even necessary.
