A cat has a mass of 3 kg and runs at a speed of 6 m/s. How much kinetic energy does the cat have?
A. 75J
B. 9 J
C. 108J
D. 54J

54 Joules

Explanation:

recall that kinetic energy is governed by the equation:

K.E = (1/2) mv²

where,

m = mass = given as 3 kg

v = velocity = given as 6 m/s

Substituting these known values into the above equation,

K.E = (1/2) mv²

K.E = (1/2) (3)(6)²

K.E = 54 Joules

1/2 × 3 × 6² = 54J

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
