Answer:

The answer is 26546.05 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body 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 we have


KE = (1)/(2) * 95.73 * {23.55}^(2) \\ = 26546.0486625

We have the final answer as

26546.05 J

Hope this helps you
