Answer: 9600 J</h2>
The kinetic energy
of a body is that energy it possesses due to its movement and is defined as:
Where
is the mass of the body and
its velocity
.
This has to do with the speed of an object and how much mass it has; basically how the object is moving.
Now, according to this equation and knowing that the mass of the buffalo is
and its velocity
:
Therefore the correct option is B.
I would say C because extra friction would make the machine work more and therefore create more heat.
