ANSWER
[tex]450J[/tex]EXPLANATION
We want to find the amount of energy that Newton will have as he is tackling Mr. V.
This simply means that we want to find the kinetic energy that Newton possesses.
Kinetic energy is the energy a body possesses due to its motion and it can be found by applying the formula:
[tex]E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]where m = mass, v = velocity
From the question:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=36\text{ kg} \\ v=5\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the amount of energy that Newton possesses as he is tackling Mr. V is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} E=\frac{1}{2}\cdot36\cdot5^2 \\ E=450J \end{gathered}[/tex]
