Kinetic energy = 1/2mv^2
= (1/2)(60)(30^ 2)
KE = 27,000 Joules

*just a reminder when you are solving for kinetic energy you have to make sure that the mass is given in kg and the velocity is given in m/sec.

hope this helps :)

The answer would be 27,000 Joules because (1/2) m v^2 =30*900 which equals 27,000 J
