Given:
Mass of cheetah (m) = 72.2 kg
Speed of cheetah (v) = 25.9 m/s
Equation:
[tex] \rm KE = \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]
Answer:
By substituting values in the equation, we get:
[tex] \rm KE = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 72.2 \times (25.9)^2 \\ \\ \rm = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 72.2 \times 670.81 \\ \\ \rm = 36.1 \times 670.81 \\ \\ \rm = 24,216.241 \\ \\ \rm \approx 24,200 \ J[/tex]
[tex] \therefore [/tex] Kinetic energy of cheetah = 24,200 J
