A 100 kg linebacker is sprinting at a quarterback with a velocity of 8m/s What is his kinetic energy?

The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is given by the formula:KE = (1/2) * m * v²where 'm' is the mass and 'v' is the velocity.In this case:* m = 100 kg* v = 8 m/sPlugging these values into the formula:KE = (1/2) * 100 kg * (8 m/s)²KE = 50 kg * 64 m²/s²KE = 3200 kg⋅m²/s²Since 1 Joule (J) is equal to 1 kg⋅m²/s², the kinetic energy is:KE = 3200 JTherefore, the linebacker's kinetic energy is .
