Answer:

K = 24222.94 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a cheetah, m = 72.2 kg

Velocity of cheetah, v = 25.9 m/s

We need to find the kinetic energy of the cheetah. Due to the motion of an object, it will have kinetic energy which is given by :


K=(1)/(2)mv^2\\\\=(1)/(2)* 72.22* (25.9)^2\\\\=24222.94\ J

So, the kinetic energy of the cheetah is 24222.94 J.
