Answer:

The speedometer reading of the car in km/h is 100.1 km/h. This can be calculated by using the formula K = 0.5mv2, where K is the kinetic energy, m is the mass, and v is the velocity. Rearranging this equation to solve for v yields v = √(2K/m). In this case, m = 66 kg and K = 1.1 x 104 J, so v = √(2 x 1.1 x 104 J/ 66 kg) = 100.1 km/h.
