Given:

Mass = 4.0 kg

Kinetic energy = 50 J

Determine the speed of the bowling ball.

Formula for the Kinetic Energy:

Ke = ½ mv^2

v = (2Ke/m)^½

Solution:

Substitute the given values of Ke and m to the formula for  v in terms of Ke.

v = (2Ke/m)^½

v = (2(50)/(4))^½

v =(100/4)^½

v = (20)^½

v = 4.47 m/s

Final answer:

v = 4.47 m/s
