The cheetah is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds as high as 33 m/s, or roughly 75 mph. What is the kinetic energy of a 65 kg cheetah running at top speed? Express your answer in SI units.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ek= 35.392 kJ or 35.392 10³ J

Explanation:

Formula for Kinetic energy:

Ek= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × m × [tex]v^{2}[/tex]

since m= 65kg and v= 33m/s

Ek= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]× 65×[tex]33^{2}[/tex]

Ek= 35.392 kJ or 35.392 10³ J
