To find the kinetic energy of the car, we can use the following formula:

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2

where:

mass is in kilograms

velocity is in meters per second

In this case, we have:

Mass = 1120 kg

Velocity = 40 m/s

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * 1120 kg * 40 m/s^2

Kinetic energy = 224000 Joules

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the car is 224000 Joules.
