Answer:

3375 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula


k = (1)/(2) m {v}^(2) \\

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have


k = (1)/(2) * 30 * {15}^(2) \\ = 15 * {15}^(2) \\ = {15}^(3) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:

We have the final answer as

3375 J

Hope this helps you
