Answer:

600 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the kinetic energy of an object is
(1)/(2)mV^2

  • m = mass in kg
  • V = velocity in m/s
  • KE is measured in Joules just as all other forms of energy.

Now, let's plug in the variables we're given and simplify.


  • (1)/(2)(12)(10)^2

  • (1)/(2)(12)(100)

  • (6)(100)

  • (600)

Thus, the answer is 600 Joules.
