To calculate the kinetic energy difference between the two scenarios, we need to find the kinetic energy at 16 mph and the kinetic energy at 14 mph, and then find the difference between the two.

Given:
Mass (m) = 6 kg
Velocity at 16 mph (v1) = 7.1 m/s
Velocity at 14 mph (v2) = 6.2 m/s

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 0.5 * m * v^2

Calculate KE at 16 mph:
KE1 = 0.5 * 6 * (7.1^2)
KE1 = 0.5 * 6 * 50.41
KE1 ≈ 151.23 J

Calculate KE at 14 mph:
KE2 = 0.5 * 6 * (6.2^2)
KE2 = 0.5 * 6 * 38.44
KE2 ≈ 115.32 J

Find the difference:
KE1 - KE2 = 151.23 J - 115.32 J
KE1 - KE2 ≈ 35.91 J

Therefore, the correct answer is:
35.9 J
