What else can I help you with?
In what units is kinetic energy measured in?
mass and speed
What units are kinetic energy measured in?
To measure kinetic energy:Let us suppose an object of mass m moving wtih velocity vKinetic Energy of that object= mv2/2
What is considered when measuring kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy cannot be measured directly, but the kinetic energy is just 1/2 times the mass times the velocity squared, and velocity can be measured directly.
What is kinetic energy measured with?
Kinetic energy is calculated using mass and velocity. KE=1/2mv2
Can kinetic energy be measured in newtons?
No, kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), as this is the SI unit for energy.
How would you work out the kinetic energy of an object when you are only given its weight and how far it has moved?
The value for kinetic energy is given by the formula (mass * velocity^2)/2. Since we have weight (not the same as mass) and distance moved rather than velocity we can't calculate the kinetic energy. You should note that weight and mass are not equivalent. Weight is measured in Newtons, while mass is measured in kilograms.
Can kinetic energy be measured?
Kinetic energy can be measured, but the act of measuring it changes the kinetic energy of the object you are measuring. For example, you can measure the kinetic energy of a bullet fired from a gun by allowing the bullet to strike an known object and then measure the deflection/deformation of the target object. While it is possible to measure the kinetic energy of the bullet this way, the bullet itself is no longer moving after this measurement, and therefore your measurement caused a change in the bullet's kinetic energy. . Kinetic energy (E) can be calculated without changing the kinetic energy of the object under observation if you know the mass (m) of the object and if you can observe or calculate its velocity (v) using the equation E=(1/2)m/v2.
What is the similarities between kinetic energy and potential energy?
kinetic energy depends on speed an potential energy depends on height and mass
What will affect kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is affected by an object's mass and its velocity. The kinetic energy of an object increases as its mass or velocity increases. Conversely, kinetic energy decreases as mass or velocity decreases.
What will happen to the kinetic energy for an object if its mass is double but the velocity remains at the same?
Kinetic Energy = (1/2)*(mass)*(velocity)2 If you double the mass, then the kinetic energy will double If you double the velocity, the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of 4
What will be the effect on kinetic energy by dubbling the mass?
the defining equation for kinetic energy= 1/2 mv2therefore kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass or as kinetic energy increases, mass increases proportionally (and vice versa).therefore if mass is doubled, the kinetic energy is also doubled.
What measures of how much energy of motion an object has?
The energy of motion an object has is measured using kinetic energy, which is calculated as 1/2 times the mass of the object times its velocity squared. The unit for kinetic energy is joules (J).
