A greyhound has a mass of 35 kg and can run at a speed of 20 m/s. What is the kinetic energy that a greyhound can achieve

Answer :

Hi there!

Recall the equation for kinetic energy:

[tex]\large\boxed{KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2}[/tex]

KE = Kinetic energy (J)

m = mass (kg)

v = velocity (m/s)

Plug in the given values:

[tex]KE = \frac{1}{2}(35)(20^2) = \boxed{7000 J}[/tex]
