Kinetic energy

• Kinetic energy


  The energy stored in moving objects
• Calculating kinetic energy


  Kinetic energy (J) = 0.5 x mass (kg) x speed^2 (m/s^2)
• The equation for kinetic energy is not given in the exam, so it must be learned
• Car runs on petrol (chemical energy)


  Chemical reaction in engine converts some energy to kinetic energy
