Answer:
324 J in Kinetic energy
882 J in Potential energy
Explanation:
Given:
To find the Kinetic energy and Potential energy of the capybara, we need to use their various formula
[tex] \boxed{ \rightarrow KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2}[/tex]
Where:
[tex] \sf KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 18kg \times{ (6ms^{- 1})}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] \sf KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 18kg \times 36ms^{- 2}[/tex]
[tex] \sf KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 648kg \times ms^{- 2}[/tex]
[tex] \sf KE = 324kg \times {ms}^{ - 2} = 324 \: \text{joules}[/tex]
Therefore, the Kinetic energy of the capybara simplifies to 324 Joules.
[tex] \boxed{ \rightarrow PE = mgh}[/tex]
Where:
[tex] \sf PE = 18kg \times 9.8 {ms}^{ - 2} \times 5m[/tex]
[tex] \sf PE = 882kg \times {ms}^{ - 2} \times m[/tex]
[tex] \sf PE = 882 \: \text{joules}[/tex]
Therefore, the Potential energy of the capybara simplifies to 882 Joules.
