Answer:

0.91 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by


K=(1)/(2)mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the lemming in this problem, when he jumps, we have:

m = 0.0780 kg is the mass

v = 4.84 m/s is the speed

Substituting into the equation, we find:


K=(1)/(2)(0.0780)(4.84)^2=0.91 J
