Answer:

250 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) * 125 * {2}^(2) \\ = (1)/(2) * 125 *4 \\ = 125 * 2

We have the final answer as

250 J

Hope this helps you
