Answer:
90 J
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
[tex]K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]
where
m is the mass of the object
v is its velocity
In this problem, we have:
- the mass of the golf ball is m = 0.05 kg
- the velocity of the ball is v = 60.0 m/s
So, the kinetic energy is
[tex]K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(0.05 kg)(60 m/s)^2=90 J[/tex]
