By definition, the kinetic energy is given by: [tex]k = ( \frac{1}{2} ) (m) (v ^ 2)
[/tex] Where, m: mass of the object v: object speed Substituting values we have: [tex]k = \frac{1}{2} (15) (5 ^ 2)
[/tex] Doing the calculations we have [tex]k = 187.5 J
[/tex] The energy unit is joules Answer: the canoe's kinetic energy is: [tex]k = 187.5 J[/tex]
