Solution

The kinetic energy (KE) of an object can be calculated using the formula:

KE = 1/2 * m * v^2

where: m is the mass of the object (in kg) v is the velocity of the object (in m/s)

In this case, the mass (m) of the car is 1,200 kg and the velocity (v) is 1.5 m/s.

Substituting these values into the formula gives:

KE = 1/2 * 1,200 kg * (1.5 m/s)^2 KE = 1/2 * 1,200 kg * 2.25 m^2/s^2 KE = 1,200 kg * 1.125 J/kg KE = 1,350 J

So, the kinetic energy of the car is 1,350 Joules.
