Answer:

The answer is 500 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula


m = \frac{2KE}{ {v}^(2) } \\

v is the velocity

KE is the kinetic energy

From the question we have


m = \frac{2 * 100000}{ {20}^(2) } = (200000 )/(400) = (2000)/(4) \\

We have the final answer as

500 kg

Hope this helps you
