What is the kinetic Energy of a 110 kg linebacker rushing towards his football

opponent? The linebacker is moving at a velocity of 5 m/s toward his target.

= 1375 joules

Explanation:

Kinetic energy refers to the energy possessed by an object or a body when in motion. It is calculated by halving the product of the mass of the body and the square of its velocity.

That is;

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * Mass * velocity²

Therefore, in this case;

Kinetic energy of linebacker = 0.5 * 110 Kg * 5²

= 1375 Joules

Therefore; the kinetic energy of the line backer is 1375 joules
