Kinetic Energy

Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Equation of Kinetic Energy

Example
Determine the kinetic energy of a 2000-kg bus that is moving with a speed of 35.0 m/s.

Answer:

Kinetic Energy,

\begin{array}{l} E_{K} = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \\ E_{K} = \frac{1}{2} (2000) (^{35) 2} \\ E_{K} = 1, 225, 000 \end{array}
