If the kinetic energy of a body moving with a velocity of \((2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-4 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \mathrm{ms}^{-1}\) is 87 J, then the mass of the body is

  1. A 3 kg
  2. B 12 kg
  3. C 9 kg
  4. D 6 kg
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 6 kg

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(v^2 = (2)^2 + (3)^2 + (-4)^2 = 4 + 9 + 16 = 29 \mathrm{m^2s^{-2}}\) \(KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\) \(87 = \frac{1}{2}m(29)\) \(m = \frac{2 \times 87}{29} = 6 \mathrm{kg}\)
