    First, calculate the initial velocity of the dog given with the vertical height and the acceleration due to gravity which is calculated through the equation,

    2ad = Vo²

    Substituting the known values,

    2 (9.8 m/s²) (1.2 m) = V₀²

    V₀ = 4.85 m/s

    The kinetic energy is solved through the equation,

    KE = 0.5mv²

    Substituting the known values to the latest equation,

    KE = 0.5 (7.2 kg) (4.85 m/s) ²

    KE = 17.46 J

    Thus, the kinetic energy is 17.46 J.
