Answer:

K = 1800 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The speed of the object, v = 30 m/s

Mass of the object, m = 4000 kg

We need to find the kinetic energy of the object. The formula for the kinetic energy is given by :


K=(1)/(2)mv^2\\\\K=(1)/(2)* 4000* 30^2\\\\K=1800000\\\\or\\\\K=1800\ kJ

So, the required kinetic energy is equal to 1800 kJ.
