A 50.0-kilogram cheetah has a kinetic energy of 18000J How fast is the cheetah running ? ( Hint : Rearrange the equation to solve for v .)

I found that people say it’s 36 but there is no explanation for it

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

here take kinetic energy =1/2×m×v²

m=50.0-kilogram (given)

kinetic energy=18000J (given)

now by taking the given values we get v²=(2×18000)/50

⇒v²=720

⇒v=26.8328m/s

done!
