a gazelle can run away from a cheetah with a speed of 35.0 m/s. if the average gazelle has a mass of 40.00 kg, what is the gazelles kinetic energy,in kilojoules?HELPPP

Answer:

  24.5 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is given by the formula ...

  KE = 1/2mv² . . . . . where m = mass

The gazelle's kinetic energy is ...

  KE = 1/2(40 kg)(35 m/s)² . . . . . where m is meters

  = 24,500 J . . . . . . 1 J = 1 kg·m²/s²

  = 24.5 kJ . . . . . . . 1000 J = 1 kJ
