Answer: 92.7Joules//

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy of moving body is 1/2mv²

K=1/2mv²

Mass = 0.145kg

V=80mil/h = 80×1609.34/3600

=35.76m/s, since 1 mile = 1609.34m and 1 hour = 3600seconds.

From the equation K=1/2mv² you can input.

K=1/2×0.145×35.76²

K=1/2×185.422

K= 185.422/2

K=92.7J//
