C. [tex]E_{k}=2.03x10^{11}J[/tex]
The kinetic energy of a body is the ability to perform work due to its movement given by the equation [tex]E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}[/tex].
To calculate the kinetic energy of a rocket with mass 15000kg and speed of 5200m/s:
[tex]E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}(15000kg)(5200m/s)^{2}=202800000000J=2.03x10^{11}J[/tex]
