Question
Kinetic energy definition.
Answers
GPT 3.5
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. It is dependent on the object's mass and its velocity. The formula to calculate kinetic energy is:
Kinetic Energy = (1/2) × mass × (velocity)^2
Where:
- Kinetic Energy is measured in joules (J)
- Mass is measured in kilograms (kg)
- Velocity is measured in meters per second (m/s)
It represents the work required to accelerate the object from rest to its current speed or the work the object can do while coming to rest. The greater the mass and velocity of an object, the higher its kinetic energy.
