Kinetic Energy


 

 

Definition of Kinetic Energy

 

The energy attributed to an object's motion is equivalent to the quantity, (.5)mv2. This expression only involves the mass and speed of the object. This expression of the object is known as "Kinetic Energy." Kinetic Energy is a scalar and is measured in Joules when mass is in kilograms and speed is in meters per second.
