If a 10 kg projectile travels one mile per second how much kinetic energy is involved? I want to know how much destructive power is involved. Perhaps I am not asking this question properly.

Given: Mass of the body m = 10 Kg,

Velocity v = 1 mile/second,

K.E = 1/2 x 10kg (1 mile/second)2

K.E = 5 kg mile2 s2
