When solving kinetic energy lets say that your equation is: 5,040,000=1/2(m)(3600). How would you find what m (mass) equals?
Solve for m:
5040000 = 1800 m
5040000 = 1800 m is equivalent to 1800 m = 5040000:
1800 m = 5040000
Divide both sides of 1800 m = 5040000 by 1800:
(1800 m)/1800 = 5040000/1800
1800/1800 = 1:
m = 5040000/1800
The gcd of 5040000 and 1800 is 1800, so 5040000/1800 = (1800×2800)/(1800×1) = 1800/1800×2800 = 2800:
Answer: | m = 2800
