Question

A 10 kg animal is running at a rate of 3.0 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the animal?

Answer 1

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the animal is 45 Joule.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the animal is given by,

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

Given: m = 10 kg , v = 3 m/s

Thus,

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} (10) (3)^{2}$

Kinetic energy = 45 Joule,

The kinetic energy of the animal is 45 Joule.
