Chapter F, Problem A.36E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Kinetic energy of spaceship has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Kinetic energy is the energy that is possessed by a body when it is in motion.  Kinetic energy is represented as ${\text{E}}_k$.  The expression for kinetic energy is given as shown below;

    ${\text{E}}_k=\frac{1}{2}{\text{mν}}^2$

Where,

    $\text{m}$ is the mass of body.

    $\text{ν}$ is the velocity of body.
