Answer:

The answer is 243 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object 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

m = 54 kg

v = 3 m/s

The kinetic energy is


KE = (1)/(2) * 54 * {3}^(2) \\ = 27 * 9 \\ = 243 \: \: \: \: \:

We have the final answer as

243 J

Hope this helps you
