Answer:


\huge\boxed{K.E. = 675,000\ Joules}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Mass = m = 1500 kg

Speed = v = 30 m/s

Required:

Kinetic Energy = K.E. = ?

Formula:


\sf K.E. = (1)/(2) mv^2

Solution:

K.E. = 1/2 (1500)(30)²

K.E. = (750)(900)

K.E. = 675,000 Joules


\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
