Answer:

90 J

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

K=(1)/(2)mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

In this problem, we have:

- the mass of the golf ball is m = 0.05 kg

- the velocity of the ball is v = 60.0 m/s

So, the kinetic energy is

K=(1)/(2)mv^2=(1)/(2)(0.05 kg)(60 m/s)^2=90 J
