Answer:


976562.5\ Joules

Step-by-step explanation:


We\ are\ given:\\The\ mass\ of\ the\ missile=125\ kg\\The\ velocity\ of\ the\ missile=125\ m/s\\Hence,\\As\ we\ know\ that,\\Kinetic\ energy\ possessed\ by\ an\ object\ with\ mass\ m\ moving\\ with\ a\ velocity\ v:\\E_k=(1)/(2)mv^2\\Here,\\The\ Kinetic\ Energy\ possessed\ by\ the\ missile=(1)/(2)*125*(125)^2=976562.5\ Joules
