Compute (1/2) M V^2
using M = 1200 and V = 12.
The answer will be in joules.

First you have to take the formula where you start with .5 (m) (v) fill it in with your numbers .5*1200*12= 7200 either m/s^2 or joules (J)
Use the formula 1/2*m*(v^2) where m=1200 kg, and v=12 m/s.
Substitute, and you get .5*1200*(12)^2=86400 J
Substitute, and you get .5*1200*(12)^2=86400 J
