Question

What is the kinetic energy of a 72.2kg cheetah moving at a velocity of 25.9m/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

K = 24222.94 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a cheetah, m = 72.2 kg

Velocity of cheetah, v = 25.9 m/s

We need to find the kinetic energy of the cheetah. Due to the motion of an object, it will have kinetic energy which is given by :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 72.22\times (25.9)^2\\\\=24222.94\ J$

So, the kinetic energy of the cheetah is 24222.94 J.
