Which is the correct equation for calculating the kinetic energy of an object?

K times E = m times g times h.

K times E = one half m v squared.

K times E = one half a t squared.

K times E = one quarter g squared.

The correct equation is

K E = 1/2 m v^2

where m is the object's mass and v its speed. (mgh is gravitational potential energy; 1/2 a t^2 is a kinematics displacement formula; 1/4 g^2 has no relevance.)
