Answer:

the velocity of the man is 5 m/s.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a moving object is given by the equation:

K.E. = 0.5 * m * v^2

where

K.E. is the kinetic energy

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

In this problem, we are given that the man has a mass of 60 kg and a kinetic energy of 750 J.

So,

750 J = 0.5 * 60 kg * v^2

Solving for v:

v^2 = (2 * 750 J) / 60 kg

v^2 = 25 J/kg

v = sqrt(25 J/kg)

v = 5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the man is 5 m/s.
