Question

An octopus spots its favorite meal ahead!, a lobster! (Me, too,boo. Me, too) What is the octopus' mass if it darts at 12 m/s(an octopus is faster than Michael Phelps!) and has 3,168Joules of kinetic energy?

Answer 1

To find the mas, we use the kinetic energy definition

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

Where K = 3,168 Joules and v = 12 m/s.

Hence, the octopus' mass is 44 kilograms.
