Answer: 1271.32 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The speed of turtle with largest leather back= 9.78 m/s
It's Kinetic energy = 60800 joules
We know that with mass 'm' and speed 'v', the formula kinetic energy is given by
[tex]K.E.=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=\frac{2K.E.}{v^2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=\frac{2\times60800}{(9.78)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ m=1271.322886\ kg[/tex]
Hence, the mass of turtle= 1271.32 kg
