What is kinetic energy?
1 answer
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. It is the energy that an object acquires when it is in motion and depends on its mass and velocity. The formula for calculating kinetic energy is KE = 1/2mv^2, where KE represents kinetic energy, m represents mass, and v represents velocity. Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude and no direction. It is measured in joules (J) in the International System of Units (SI).
