    Answer:

    kinetic energy possessed by Ceres = 4.806 × 10^(29) J

    Explanation:

    We are given;

    Estimated mass; m = 3 × 10^(21) kg

    Orbital speed; v = 17900 m/s

    Formula for kinetic energy is;

    K.E = ½mv²

    K.E = ½ × 3 × 10^(21) × 17900²

    K.E = 4.806 × 10^(29) J

    Thus;

    kinetic energy possessed by Ceres = 4.806 × 10^(29) J
