Physics 11 Work & Energy Unit Midterm (Answer Key)


1. What is the SI unit for energy? It's the same one we've been using in this class and it is named after
the famous person who managed to heat up water which his mechanical device.
Joule
2. Please write out the formula for inetic !nergy for a given an ob"ect that has mass m and
travelling at a velocity of v?
KE = (1/2) mv
2
#. What is the $inetic energy of a 2 $g raccoon at 12 m%s?
KE = (1/2) (2) (12)
2

= (1/2) (2) (144)
= 144 Joules
