How it works

KE = ½ · m · v²

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion: half the mass times the velocity squared. With kg and m/s, it's in joules. Example: 2 kg at 3 m/s → 9 J.

Frequently asked questions

What is the kinetic energy formula?

KE = ½ · m · v².

Does doubling speed double the energy?

No — energy depends on v², so doubling speed gives four times the energy.
