Answer:
[tex] \boxed{\sf Kinetic \ energy \ of \ the \ bear (KE) = 23002.1 \ J} [/tex]
Given:
Mass of the polar bear (m) = 6.8 kg
Speed of the polar bear (v) = 5.0 m/s
To Find:
Kinetic energy of the polar bear (KE)
Explanation:
Formula:
[tex] \boxed{ \bold{\sf KE = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }}[/tex]
Substituting values of m & v in the equation:
[tex] \sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 380.2 \times {11}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] \sf \implies KE = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}} \times \cancel{2} \times 190.1 \times 121 [/tex]
[tex] \sf \implies KE = 190.1 \times 121 [/tex]
[tex] \sf \implies KE = 23002.1 \: J[/tex]
[tex] \therefore [/tex]
Kinetic energy of the polar bear (KE) = 23002.1 J
