The shark, weighing 250 kg, swims at a speed of 4 m / s. Its kinetic energy is …

Initial data: m (shark mass) = 250 kg; V (the speed at which the shark swims) = 4 m / s.

The kinetic energy of a shark can be calculated using the formula: Ek = m * V ^ 2/2.

Let’s calculate: Ek = 250 * 4 ^ 2/2 = 250 * 16/2 = 2000 J or 2 kJ.

Answer: 1) The kinetic energy of a shark is 2000 J (2 kJ).
