A student rides her bicycle down a hill. Together, she and the bicycle

have a mass of 56 kilograms. She is moving at 11 meters per second.
What is her kinetic energy? (1 point)
13,552 J
17,248 J
6,776 J
3,388 J

1 answer

The formula for kinetic energy is: KE = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2

Plugging in the values:
KE = 0.5 * 56 kg * (11 m/s)^2
KE = 0.5 * 56 kg * 121 m^2/s^2
KE = 28 kg * 121 m^2/s^2
KE = 3388 J

Therefore, her kinetic energy is 3,388 J.

The correct answer is: 3,388 J
