Answer: 13000 joules

This is equivalent to 13 kilojoules.

=======================================================

Work Shown:

m = 65 kg = mass

v = 20 m/s = velocity

KE = kinetic energy

KE = (1/2)*m*v^2

KE = (1/2)*65*(20)^2

KE = 13000 joules

This can be written as 13 kilojoules since "kilo" means "1 thousand"

The abbreviation of the unit "joules" is the letter J.
