Understanding Kinetic Energy

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the square of its velocity. The formula for calculating kinetic energy is:

KE = 0.5 × m × v²

Where:

  • KE = Kinetic Energy
  • m = Mass of the object
  • v = Velocity of the object

Example Calculation

For example, if an object with a mass of 10 kg is moving at a velocity of 5 m/s, its kinetic energy would be:

KE = 0.5 × 10 kg × (5 m/s)² = 0.5 × 10 × 25 = 125 Joules
