The formula for calculating kinetic energy KE is KE 05 x mv2. Kinetic energy is one of several types of energy that an object can possess. PE due to gravity m g h.
Where KE is kinetic energy in joules m is mass in kilograms and v is velocity in meters per second.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. For example if a an object with a mass of 10 kg m 10 kg is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second v 5 ms the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules or 12 10 kg 5 ms 2. Kinetic Energy KE is energy of motion. Energy is the ability to do work.
