Understanding the Concepts

* Kinetic Energy: The energy an object possesses due to its motion. It's calculated as: KE = (1/2) * mv²

* KE = Kinetic energy (in Joules)

* m = mass (in kilograms)

* v = velocity (in meters per second)

Calculations

1. Rearrange the formula to solve for velocity (v):

v = √(2 * KE / m)

2. Plug in the given values:

v = √(2 * 1080 J / 60 kg)

3. Calculate:

v = √(36 m²/s²)

v = 6 m/s

Answer: The velocity of the jogger is 6 meters per second.
