The total energy refers to the kinetic energy plus the potential energy.
The kinetic energy depends on the velocity, and the potential energy depends on the position (height in this case).
The formulas are
Where m = 973 kg, h = 24 m, and v = 25 m/s.
![\begin{gathered} K=(1)/(2)\cdot973\operatorname{kg}\cdot(25\cdot(m)/(s))^2=486.5\operatorname{kg}\cdot625\cdot(m^2)/(s^2)=304,062.5J \\ U=973\operatorname{kg}\cdot9.8\cdot(m)/(s^2)\cdot24m=^{}228,849.6J \end{gathered}]()
At last, we have to add these energies to find the total.
Therefore, the total energy is 532,912.1 Joules.
