item 4
item 5
a wildlife keeper is trying to catch an escaping rabbit. who has the greater kinetic energy, the rabbit or the wildlife keeper?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the kinetic energy of the wildlife keeper

The formula for kinetic energy is \(KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\). For the wildlife keeper, \(m = 60\space kg\) and \(v=5\space m/s\).

Step2: Calculate the kinetic energy of the rabbit

For the rabbit, \(m = 4\space kg\) and \(v = 5\space m/s\).

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$

Answer:

The wildlife keeper has greater kinetic energy.
