- The kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardThe acceleration (in ft/s2) of an object moving along a straight line is given by a(t) = 3t Find the change of the objects's velocity over the time interval [10, 24]. ?arrow_forwardSuppose an object is moving along a line such that the acceleration after t seconds is 6t -8t (ft/sec)/sec. If its velocity after 1 second is 2 ft/sec and its initial position is 3 ft, find its position after 4 seconds.arrow_forward
