Answer:

5.53 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) * 0.046 * {15.5}^(2) \\ = 0.023 * 240.25 \\ = 5.52575

We have the final answer as

5.53 J

Hope this helps you
