What is the kinetic Energy of a 110 kg linebacker rushing towards his football
opponent? The linebacker is moving at a velocity of 5 m/s toward his target.

Respuesta :

Answer:

= 1375 joules

Explanation:

  • Kinetic energy refers to the energy possessed by an object or a body when in motion.
  • It is calculated by halving the product of the mass of the body and  the square of its velocity.

That is;

Kinetic energy = 0.5 × Mass × velocity²

Therefore, in this case;

Kinetic energy of linebacker = 0.5 × 110 Kg × 5²

                                                = 1375 Joules

Therefore; the kinetic energy of the line backer is 1375 joules
