![**Question:**
If an object of mass 38 kg has a kinetic energy of 232 J, what is its velocity?
---
**Solution Explanation:**
To find the velocity of an object when given its mass and kinetic energy, you can use the kinetic energy formula:
\[ KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \]
Where:
- \( KE \) is the kinetic energy (232 J),
- \( m \) is the mass (38 kg),
- \( v \) is the velocity.
Rearrange the formula to solve for velocity \( v \):
\[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times KE}{m}} \]
Substitute the given values:
\[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 232}{38}} \]
By performing the calculation, you can determine the velocity of the object.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fde10ac4d-a71c-4404-a6a7-5da9829e3a85%2F966088f2-42af-4e1e-8c14-dbcd4a25e46b%2F5wio0rf_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
