I will have to assume that all of the energy number is kinetic energy, not potential, electrical, internal or any other type. The question should have clarified that. In that case,
(1/2) M V^2 = 90.38 (Joules)
Therefore,
M = 2*90.38/(11.26)^2 (kg)
(1/2) M V^2 = 90.38 (Joules)
Therefore,
M = 2*90.38/(11.26)^2 (kg)
