Kinetic Energy

Calculates the Kinetic Energy of an object. When work is done on an object, energy is transferred, and the object moves with a new constant speed. We call the energy that is transferred kinetic energy, and it depends on the mass and speed achieved. The kinetic energy equation is given as: KE = 1/2mv^2, where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the body’s mass, and v is the body’s velocity.

Usage

kinetic_energy(m, v)

Arguments

m

mass of the object (kg)

v

velocity of the object (m/s)

Value

KE kinetic energy of the object

Examples

m <- 0.6
v <- 3
