Answer:

8 × 10^6J

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is a term in physics that describes the process of energy displacement to the movement of an object via the use of a force.

The formula for work is depicted as "Force X displacement" (F * d). The SI Unit is represented as Joule (J)

Given that, the work-energy principle, states that works done by external force equal the change in kinetic energy of the object.

In this situation, we were only given the kinetic energy, therefore, the correct answer still remains 8,000,000 Joules or 8 x 10^6 J.
