Answer:

kinetic energy:
9 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:


Kinetic-Energy = (1)/(2) m v^2

Here the mass is 80 grams - which should be changed to kilograms

→ 1 kg ⇔ 1000 grams

→ 80 grams ⇔ 0.08 kg

Now using the formula:


(1)/(2) mv^2


(1)/(2) * 0.08 * 15^2


9 Joules

Remember the mass should be in kg and velocity in meter per second.
