Question

a 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its kinetic energy(KE) when it jumps PLEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

Answer:

0.91 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the lemming in this problem, when he jumps, we have:

m = 0.0780 kg is the mass

v = 4.84 m/s is the speed

Substituting into the equation, we find:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(0.0780)(4.84)^2=0.91 J$
