the international space station orbits the earth at a speed of 7660m/s. If it has a kinetic energy of 1.24 x 1013J, what is its mass

4.2 x 10⁵kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of orbit  = 7660m/s

Kinetic energy  = 1.24 x 10¹³J

Unknown:

Mass  = ?

Solution:

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. It is mathematically expressed as;

       K.E  = mv²

m is the mass

v is speed

Now insert the parameters and find the mass;

   1.24 x 10¹³   =   x m x 7660²  

   1.24 x 10¹³  = 2.93 x 10⁷m

  m  =   = 0.42 x 10⁶kg = 4.2 x 10⁵kg
