6. A dog can run briefly with a velocity of 12.0 m/s. Suppose a cheetah with a mass of 15 kg runs at this
speed. What is the dog's kinetic energy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1080J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of cheetah  = 12m/s

Mass of the dog  = 15kg

Unknown:

Kinetic energy  = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy due to the motion of the body.

It is mathematically given as;

     K.E  = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] m v²  

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

  K.E  =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 15 x 12²   = 1080J
