Answer:

This is the complete answer and step by step explanation.

Given:

a = 3m/s

m = 85 kg

Unknown:

The Kinetic energy of the man jogging

Formula and solution:

KE = 1/2 mv²

KE = 1/2(85 kg)(3 m/s)²

KE = (42.5 kg)(9 m²/s²)

Final Answer:

KE = 382.5 kg.m²/s² or simplify as 382.5 J is the kinetic energy of man jogging
