Answer:

The answer is

468 , 750 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula


KE = (1)/(2) m {v}^(2)

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed or velocity

From the question

m = 1500 kg

v = 25 m/s

The kinetic energy of the object is


KE = (1)/(2) * 1500 * {25}^(2) \\ = 750 * 625

We have the final answer

468 , 750 J

Hope this helps you
