Question

Calculate the kinetic energy of a body of mass 10 kg moving with a uniform velocity of 5 m s-1.

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

125 J

The kinetic energy (KE) of a body is given by the formula:

\(KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\)

where:

  • \(m\) is the mass of the body (in kg)
  • \(v\) is the velocity of the body (in m/s)

In this problem, we are given:

  • \(m = 10 \, kg\)
  • \(v = 5 \, m/s\)

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

\(KE = \frac{1}{2}(10 \, kg)(5 \, m/s)^2\)

\(KE = \frac{1}{2}(10 \, kg)(25 \, m^2/s^2)\)

\(KE = 5 \, kg \times 25 \, m^2/s^2\)

\(KE = 125 \, kg \cdot m^2/s^2\)

Since 1 Joule (J) is equal to 1 kg⋅m²/s², the kinetic energy is:

\(KE = 125 \, J\)

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the body is 125 J.
