Answer:

Mass of truck = 29.62 kg (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Kinetic energy = 1200 J

Speed of truck = 9 m/s

Find:

Mass

Computation:

The kinetic energy of a thing is the force that has attributable to its movement in physics.

Kinetic energy = [1/2][m][v]²

1,200 = [1/2][m][9]²

1,200 = [1/2][m][81]

Mass of truck = 29.62 kg (Approx.)
