To calculate the kinetic energy of an object, you can use the equation:

Kinetic Energy = (1/2) * mass * velocity^2

Using this equation, we can substitute the given values:

Mass = 148 grams = 0.148 kg (since 1 kg = 1000 grams)
Velocity = 42.0 m/s

Kinetic Energy = (1/2) * 0.148 kg * (42.0 m/s)^2

Calculating the expression:

Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * 0.148 kg * (1764 m^2/s^2)

Kinetic Energy = 0.1308 kg * m^2/s^2

Therefore, the kinetic energy of a 148 gram baseball moving at a velocity of 42.0 meters per second is 0.1308 kg * m^2/s^2.
