KE = ½mv². Mass: m = 2KE / v². Velocity: v = √(2KE / m). Where KE is kinetic energy in joules.

الأسئلة الشائعة

What is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. It equals one-half times mass times velocity squared: KE = ½mv².
Why is velocity squared in the formula?
Doubling the speed quadruples the kinetic energy. This is why high-speed collisions are so much more destructive.
What units are used?
Mass in kilograms (kg), velocity in meters per second (m/s), and kinetic energy in joules (J).
Can kinetic energy be negative?
No. Mass and the square of velocity are always non-negative, so kinetic energy is always zero or positive.
