m = mass of the truck = 23 00 kg
v = speed of the truck down the highway = 32 m/s
K = kinetic energy of the truck = ?
kinetic energy of the truck down the highway is given as
K = (0.5) m v²
inserting the values
K = (0.5) (2300) (32)²
K = (0.5) (2300) (1024)
K = (1150) (1024)
K = 1177600 J
hence the kinetic energy of the truck comes out to be 1177600 J
