Here are the answers to the activity questions on page 216 of the study guide in one whole sheet of paper: 5. Kinetic energy (KE) varies jointly as mass (m) and the square of velocity (v2). KE = kmv2 Given: Mass (m) = 8 g Velocity (v) = 5 cm/s KE = 100 ergs Find k: 100 ergs = k(8 g)(5 cm/s)2 100 ergs = k(8)(25) 100 ergs = 200k k = 100/200 = 1/2 KE = kmv2 Given: Mass (m) = 6 g
