Given:

The mass of skater is m=60 kg.

The velocity of skater is v=4 m/s.

The kinetic energy of the skater is given as,


K=(1)/(2)mv^2

Plug in the known values,


\begin{gathered} K=(1)/(2)(60\text{ kg)(}4m/s)^2(\frac{1\text{ J}}{1kgm^2s^(-2)^{}}) \\ =120\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Thus, the kinetic energy of the skater is 120 J.
