1. **Kinetic Energy Calculation**:
\[
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 200 \, \text{kg} \cdot (15 \, \text{m/s})^2 = \frac{1}{2} \cdot 200 \cdot 225 = 22500 \, \text{J}
\]
**Answer**: **22,500 J**

2. **Potential Energy Calculation**:
\[
PE = mgh = 115 \, \text{kg} \cdot 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 6 \, \text{m} = 6762 \, \text{J}
\]
**Answer**: **6762 J**
