Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. An object that has motion - whether it is vertical or horizontal motion - has kinetic energy. It is calculated by the expression:

KE = 0.5mv^2

where m is the mass and v is velocity.

KE = 0.5(55)(9)^2
KE = 2227.5 J

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
