Kinetic energy

• Kinetic Energy

  • Energy in an object's kinetic store is defined as: The amount of energy an object has as a result of its mass and speed
  • This means that any object in motion has energy in its kinetic energy store
• • Kinetic energy can be calculated using the equation:
  • Where:
  • E = kinetic energy in joules (J)
  • m = mass of the object in kilograms (kg)
  • v = speed of the object in metres per second (m/s)
