  1. Answer:

    15,569,653.3 Joules(J)

    Explanation:

    The equation used to find Kinetic Energy (KE) is

    KE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] m [tex]v^{2}[/tex]

    You have been given

    m = 450kg

    v = 947km/h

    KE = ???

    Firstly, we need to convert the km/h into m/s as this is the unit used in the KE equation

    This can be done by dividing by 3.6

    947km/h = 263.056m/s

    Substitute you values into the equation

    KE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] m [tex]v^{2}[/tex]

    KE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] * 450 * [tex]263.056^{2}[/tex]

    KE = 15,569,653.3 Joules(J)

    Round your answer as appropriate
