Practice Problems

  1. A football player has a velocity of 3 m/s. If his mass is 48 kg, what is his kinetic energy.
  2. Double the football player's mass. How does this affect his energy?
  3. Now double his velocity. How does this affect his energy?
  4. A girl sits a book with a mass of 1.2 kg on a shelf that is 1.4 m high. How much potential energy does the book now have?
