ANSWER:

27 joules

Explanation:

We have that the formula of the kinetic energy is the following


E_k=(1)/(2)\cdot m\cdot v^2

We plug in the value of the mass and the velocity and calculate the value of the kinetic energy:


\begin{gathered} E_k=(1)/(2)\cdot6\cdot3^2 \\ E_k=27\text{ J} \end{gathered}
