Kinetic energy is (1/2)*mass*velocity2

$${\mathtt{ke}} = \left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{0.5}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{1.4}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} \Rightarrow {\mathtt{ke}} = {\mathtt{0.49}}$$

The kinetic energy is 0.49 joules

$${\mathtt{ke}} = \left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right){\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{0.5}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{1.4}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} \Rightarrow {\mathtt{ke}} = {\mathtt{0.49}}$$

The kinetic energy is 0.49 joules
