Question

The red tailed hawk spots a chipmunk and swoops down. What is the hawk's kinetic energy when it's going 42 m/s? The hawk still has a mass of 1 kg.

Answer 1

882 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic Energy (J) = 1/2 * m * v²

where m is the mass(kg) and v(m/s) is the velocity

• Here the mass is 1 kg and velocity is 42 m/s

→ Using the formula:

→ 1/2 * 1 * 42²

→ 882 J
