Calculate the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 25 kg that accelerates to a speed of 12 m/s. Also, determine how much work was done to reach that speed, assuming it started from rest.
💡 Hint: Use the kinetic energy formula.
A cyclist achieves a velocity of 15 m/s. If the total mass of the cyclist and the bicycle is 80 kg, how much kinetic energy do they possess? If the cyclist wants to increase the speed to 30 m/s, how much additional work is needed?
💡 Hint: Calculate both initial and final kinetic energies using the respective speeds.
