A brick.

If this one already made an appearance on here, I'm sorry. Just got reminded of it while thinking about idioms for hefty books, in english I couldn't find any. In my first language we would say "it's a brick"

Alt version of this joke:

What's red and good for a cop's teeth?Correct! A brick!

The formula for kinetic energy is

KE = 1/2 * m * v^2^

where m is mass in kilograms and v is velocity in meters per second. Since we already have all of the values, it should just be a quick calculation.

KE = 1/2 * m * v^2^ = 1/2 * 2 * (299,792,458/4)^2^ = 5.6*10^15^ Joules

According to Wolfram Alpha, 5.6PJ is about 60% the impact energy that formed Meteor Crater in Arizona .
