Solution

To calculate the kinetic energy (Ek) of the car, we can use the formula Ek = 1/2mv^2.

Here, m is the mass of the car and v is its speed.

Given in the problem, m = 1000 kg and v = 20 m/s.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Ek = 1/2 * 1000 kg * (20 m/s)^2 = 1/2 * 1000 kg * 400 m^2/s^2 = 200,000 Joules

So, the kinetic energy of the car is 200,000 J. Therefore, the correct answer is D) 200,000 J.
