An object with a mass of 50.0 kg moves with a velocity of 11.2 m/s and an event occurs whereby it transfers 1,539 J of energy to another object as work. What is the new velocity of the object after the event?

i think its d if wrong im sorry

answer: the potential energy decreases from 379 j to 243 j

explanation:

for the law of conservation of energy, the total energy in a system must be conserved. the total energy of the system is given by the sum of kinetic (k) and potential (u) energy:

e = k + u

the total energy is e=675 j, and this does not change.

initially, the kinetic energy is k=296 j, so the potential energy is

at the end, the kinetic energy is k=432 j, so the potential energy is

so, we see that the potential energy has decreased from 379 j to 243 j.
