Kinetic Energy Calculator

This page provides insight into determining the kinetic energy of a body and provides a function to help you calculate it using mass and velocity.

Calculation

Inputs



m
:10kg



v
:5m / s


Here are the variables for the equation

  1. KE = Kinetic Energy (J)
  2. m = mass (kg)
  3. v = velocity (m/s)

Output



KE
:25J


KE=12mv2KE = \frac {1}{2} mv^2

Explanation

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. It is a scalar quantity with only magnitude and no direction. Kinetic energy is important in various physical phenomena, such as collisions and the motion of objects under the influence of forces.
Kinetic energy can be expressed mathematically as:

KE=12mv2KE = \frac {1}{2} mv^2
