Answer:

Kinetic energy of the given object is 6000 J or 6 KJ.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

mass of the object = 30 kg; and

velocity with which the object moves = 20 m/s.

We know the formula of the kinetic energy:

Kinetic energy = 1/2 × mv
^2

Substituting the given values in the above formula to get:

Kinetic energy of object = 1/2 × 30 × 20
^2 = 6000 J or 6 KJ

Given that:

kinetic energy of an object (K.E) = ?

mass of the object (m) = 30 Kg ,

velocity of object (v) = 20 m/s,

We know that,

Kinetic energy is a form of energy, that an object as by reason of its motion.

mathematically,

The kinetic energy of the object (K.E) = 1/2 . (m. v²)

= 1/2.(30 × 20²)

= 6000 Joules

K.E = 6000 J or 6 KJ

The kinetic energy of the object is 6000 Joules

Units ; N.m = J (energy measured in Joules)

KN.m = KJ
