Kinetic Energy to Velocity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the velocity (V) from kinetic energy (KE) is:

\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot KE}{M}} \]

Where:

\( V \) is the velocity (m/s)
\( KE \) is the kinetic energy (Joules)
\( M \) is the mass (kg)

What is Kinetic Energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. It is calculated using the mass of the object and its velocity. The relationship between kinetic energy and velocity is crucial in various fields, including physics, engineering, and mechanics.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 500 Joules
Mass (M) = 10 kg

Using the formula to calculate the velocity:

\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 500}{10}} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \, \text{m/s} \]

The velocity is 10 m/s.
