Answer:

9,600,000 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula


k = (1)/(2) m {v}^(2) \\

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have


k = (1)/(2) * 1200 * {40}^(2) \\ = 600 * 1600

We have the final answer as

9,600,000 J

Hope this helps you
