Answer:

60000J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 1200kg

Speed = 10m/s

Unknown:

Kinetic energy = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy is given as:

Kinetic energy =
(1)/(2) m v²

Now insert the parameters and solve;

m is the mass

v is the velocity

Kinetic energy =
(1)/(2) x 1200 x 10² = 60000J
