Kinetic Energy Calculator

Kinetic Energy Formula:

Where: KE = Kinetic Energy (Joules), m = mass (kg), v = velocity (m/s)

Key Points:

• • Kinetic energy is always positive
• • Energy increases with the square of velocity
• • Measured in Joules (J) in SI units
• • Depends on both mass and velocity

Example:

A 10 kg object moving at 5 m/s:
KE = ½ × 10 × 5² = ½ × 10 × 25 = 125 J

Applications:

• • Vehicle crash analysis
• • Sports physics
• • Energy conservation problems
• • Engineering design
