A wildlife keeper is trying to catch an escaping rabbit. Who has the greater kinetic energy, the rabbit or the wildlife keeper? (1 point) Responses The wildlife keeper because they speed up and catch the rabbit. The wildlife keeper because they speed up and catch the rabbit. Neither one because they are moving at the same speed. Neither one because they are moving at the same speed. The rabbit because it has less mass. The rabbit because it has less mass. The wildlife keeper because they have a greater mass.

Answer 1

The correct response is: The wildlife keeper because they have a greater mass.

Kinetic energy is calculated using the formula \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \), where \( m \) is mass and \( v \) is velocity. Assuming both the rabbit and the wildlife keeper have similar speeds, the wildlife keeper, having a greater mass, would have greater kinetic energy.
