Kinetic Energy Calculator

Calculating Kinetic Energy (KE)

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. This calculator helps you calculate the kinetic energy of an object given its mass and velocity.

The Formula

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where:

• KE: Kinetic Energy (Joules, J)
• m: Mass (Kilograms, kg)
• v: Velocity (Meters per second, m/s)

Example

If a 2 kg object moves at 3 m/s, its kinetic energy is: $KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \text{ kg} \times (3 \text{ m/s})^2 = 9 \text{ J}$
