If a 35 kg zombie runs at a speed of 3.0 m/s. What is the zombie's kinetic energy?

a
53 J
b
158 J
c
105 J
d
315 J

1 answer

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 0.5*m*v^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity (speed).

Plugging in the given values, we get:

KE = 0.5*(35 kg)*(3.0 m/s)^2

KE = 0.5*(35 kg)*(9 m^2/s^2)

KE = 157.5 J

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the answer is (b) 158 J.
