Answer:

The answer is 8,100 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body when given it's mass and velocity can be found by using the formula


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

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question

mass of object = 50 kg

velocity = 18 m/s

It's kinetic energy is


KE = (1)/(2) * 50 * {18}^(2) \\ = 25 * 324

We have the final answer as

8100 J

Hope this helps you
