Answer:

J stands for Joules.

A has the most KE

Step-by-step explanation:

Dog A

  • En = 1/2 m * v^2
  • m = 10 kg
  • v = 6 m/s
  • En = 1/2 10 * 6^2
  • En = 5 * 36
  • En = 180 J

Dog B

  • En = 1/2 m * v^2
  • m = 8 kg
  • v = 4 m/s
  • En = 1/2 8 * 4^2
  • En = 4 * 16
  • En = 64 J

Dog C

  • En = 1/2 m * v^2
  • m = 12 kg
  • v = 5 m/s
  • En = 1/2 12 * 5^2
  • En = 6 * 25
  • En = 150 J

Dog D

  • En = 1/2 m * v^2
  • m = 15 kg
  • v = 3 m/s
  • En = 1/2 3 * 3^2
  • En = 1.5 * 9
  • En = 13.5 J
