Homework Statement
1-Calculate the energy (1/2 mv^2) for each of the following:
a) a nova outburst that accelerate a mass of 1E-5 M_sun to
a velocity of 1000 km/s
Homework Equations
1/2 mv^2
The Attempt at a Solution
Now, here's what I am unsure of. Do I just take the kinetic energy, or, do I have to do some strange integral? I'm still not very comfortable with integration and am unsure of when to use it.
