Answer:
m = 350474 [kg]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must remember the definition of kinetic energy, which can be easily calculated by means of the following equation.
[tex]E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\[/tex]
where:
Ek = kinetic energy = 9.76*10^9[J]
m = mass [kg]
v = velocity = 236 [m/s]
Now replacing and solving the equation.
9.76*10^9 = 0.5*m*(236)^2
m = 9.76*10^9 / (0.5*236^2)
m = 350474 [kg]
