A hockey puck has a mass of 0.21 kg. If the hockey puck is moving with 74 J of kinetic energy, what is its speed?
Show all your work.

v = 26.54 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a hockey puck, m = 0.21 kg

The kinetic energy of the hockey puck, E= 74 J

We need to find the speed of the hockey puck. Let the speed is v. We know that, the kinetic energy is given by :

Where

v is the speed

So,

So, the speed of the hockey puck is 26.54 m/s.

i think it's 35 meters

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
