Answer:

kinetic energy = 1228.25 J

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the kinetic energy of an object given its mass and speed, we have to use the following formula:


\boxed{E_k = (1)/(2)mv^2}

where:


E_k ⇒ kinetic energy

m ⇒ mass = 34 kg

v ⇒ speed = 8.5 m/s

Substituting the values into the formula above:


E_k =
(1)/(2) × 34 × (8.5)²

= 1228.25 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the tiger is 1228.25 J.
