Answer: 12600 Joules

Step-by-step explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion.

It is calculated by the formula:

${\text{Kinetic energy}}=(1)/(2)* mv^2$

m= mass of the body

v= velocity

${\text{Kinetic energy}}=(1)/(2)* 700 kg* {6m/s}^2=12,600kgm^(2)s^(-2)=12,600Joules$

1Joule=1kgm^(2)s^(-2)
