In 1-2 sentences, explain how you could find the kinetic energy of a baseball when it hits a window?

1 answer

To find the kinetic energy of a baseball when it hits a window, you can use the formula for kinetic energy (KE = 1/2 mv²), where "m" is the mass of the baseball and "v" is its velocity just before impact, which can be measured or calculated based on its initial height and any forces acting on it during its fall. If the baseball's speed at impact is known, simply plug the values into the formula to determine the kinetic energy.
