The kinetic energy (KE) of an object can be calculated using the formula:

KE = 0.5 * m * v^2,

where:
- m is the mass of the object, and
- v is the velocity of the object.

Substituting the given values into the formula:

KE = 0.5 * (60 kg) * (3.0 m/s)^2 = 270 Joules.

So, the student possesses 270 Joules of kinetic energy when running at that speed.
