Answer:
Kinetic energy = 35840 Joules
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 70kg
Velocity = 32m/s
To find the kinetic energy;
Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.
Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;
[tex] K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}[/tex]
Where, K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.
M represents mass measured in kilograms.
V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.
[tex] K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}[/tex]
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] K.E = \frac{1}{2}*70*32^{2}[/tex]
[tex] K.E = \frac{1}{2}*70*1024[/tex]
[tex] K.E = 35 * 1024 [/tex]
K.E = 35840 Joules.
Therefore, the kinetic energy possessed by the cheetah is 35840 Joules.
