Calculate the kinetic energy of an object in motion based on mass and velocity. Critical for impact analysis, crash safety, and ballistics.
Because velocity is squared in the formula. Doubling the mass doubles the energy, but doubling the speed quadruples the energy.
A Joule is the SI unit of energy. It represents the energy transferred to an object when a force of one newton acts on it over a distance of one meter.
KE = 0.5 * m * v²
