Calculate the kinetic energy of an object using our Kinetic Energy Calculator. Input the mass and velocity to get instant results. Perfect for students, teachers, and physics enthusiasts.
Enter any two inputs and click on Calculate button
How to use this Kinetic Energy Calculator 🤔
There are input fields for Mass \((m)\), Velocity \((v)\), and Kinetic Energy \((KE)\). Enter any two inputs and click on Calculate button.
The calculator uses the \( KE = \frac{ m \cdot v ^2}{2} \) formula, substitues given values, and calcuates the missing value.
The missing value is calcuated and displayed in the input field. Also, the caculation is displayed under the input section.
What is Kinetic Energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. The faster an object moves, and the more massive it is, the more kinetic energy it has. Kinetic energy is what allows a moving object to do work, such as when a moving car collides with another object.
Calculating Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy (KE) can be calculated using the formula:
\( KE = \frac{1}{2} m \cdot v^2 \).
In this formula, the parameters are defined as follows:
m: The mass of the object, or how much matter it contains, measured in kilograms (kg).
v: The velocity of the object, or the speed at which it is moving, measured in meters per second (m/s).
