Please help asap. A soccer player can kick a 0.370 kg football at 55 km/h. How much work does the soccer player have to do on the ball in order to give it that much kinetic energy?

Answer: 43.2 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Work = change in KE

initial KE = 0

final KE = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2(0.370 kg)(15.2778 m/s)^2 = 43.2 J

i'm not sure about sig figs though
