Answer:

10kg

Step-by-step explanation:

it is 10kg bc the energy is false kenetic. The greater mass a moving object has, the more kinetic energy it has it has has kinetic energy because of its position Friction causes some mechanical energy to change to thermal energy. Doubling an object's velocity will double its kinetic energy
