Answer:

Jim's kinetic energy is 54.67 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 15 kg

Velocity, V = 2.7 m/s

We need to find the Jim's kinetic energy. We know that when the object is in motion, it has kinetic energy. This energy is given by :


E=(1)/(2)mv^2


E=(1)/(2)* 15\ kg* (2.7\ m/s)^2

E = 54.67 J

So, Jim's kinetic energy is 54.67 J. Hence, this is the required solution.
