Definition of kinetic energy

Energy that moving objects possess

KE of stationary objects

Zero

Unit of kinetic energy

Joule (J)

Symbol for kinetic energy

EKE_K

Kinetic energy formula

EK=12mv2E_K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

mm in kinetic energy formula

Mass of object (kg)

vv in kinetic energy formula

Velocity of object (m·s⁻¹)

Why velocity affects KE more than mass

Velocity is squared in formula

Effect of heavier mass on KE

More kinetic energy

Effect of faster velocity on KE

More kinetic energy
