Check the final answer first, then review the worked steps.
Answer
\(Ek = 1/2 * m * v^2\)
Step-by-step solution
The problem asks for the necessary equations and conversions to solve for kinetic energy when atomic mass and speed are known. The formula for kinetic energy is $E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$. Therefore, we need the mass ($m$) and speed ($v$). The first option shows a conversion of atomic mass units (amu) to kilograms, which is a necessary conversion if the mass is given in amu. The last option shows the direct application of the kinetic energy formula with given values for mass and speed.
