    Kinetic energy=0.5*mass * (velocity^2)

    15,000 J=0.5*50*v^2

    15,000J=25v^2

    600 J=v^2

    Velocity = 24.49 ms^-1

    Answer: 24.49 m/s

    Explanation:

    Kinetic energy = ½ mass * (velocity) ²

    K. E = 15,000J

    Mass (M) = 50Kg

    Velocity (v) = ?

    15000 = ½ * 50 * v²

    V² = [ (2 * 15000) / 50]

    V² = 600

    Take the square root of both sides

    V = 24. 49 m/s
