Kinetic Energy

A Ford Taurus with an 80-kg driver has a mass of approximately 1732 kg. The kinetic energy of the car and driver can be calculated from the formula E = (mv2)/2, where m is the mass of the car and driver, and v is the velocity. The resultant energy is expressed in joules (J). Find the kinetic energy of the car and driver at 27 m/sec.
