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.

∙ 12y agoI don't know how it is measured but i do know that it is basically movement energy. So if you waved your arm in the air right now, you have 'created' kinetic energy.
hope this helps!

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 kinetic energy measured with?
Kinetic energy is calculated using mass and velocity. KE=1/2mv2
How would you calculate an objects mechanical energy?
Find out the form of Mechanical energy in he object. Kinetic energy is measured with velocity Vibration energy measured by amplitude and frequency of vibration. Datum energy is measured by height of the object from ground. Hence it depends on the type of the energy.
The average kinetic energy of a substances is its what?
Average KE is proportional to the temperature of the particles measured in Kelvin.Energy is measured in Joules and temperature is measured in Kelvin or Celsius. Do not think that they are the same thing.KE = 1/2mv2 for macroscopic objects but the equation for working out the KE of particles is quite complicated.
How can a object have potential and kinetic energy at the same time?
potential energy is typically measured as m*g*h which means that its a function of height. kinetic energy is .5*m*v^2 , which means kinetic energy is dependent on velocity. therefore if an object is at any altitude and has some velocity it has kinetic and potential energy
Can kinetic energy be measured in newtons?
No, kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), as this is the SI unit for energy.
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 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 the energy of a moving object due to its motion?
Energy related to motion is called "kinetic energy".
What is the measure of average kinetic energy?
The average kinetic energy of atomic and molecular particles is measured as temperature.
What is kinetic energy measured with?
Kinetic energy is calculated using mass and velocity. KE=1/2mv2
What is the average kinetic energy of particles in an object can be measured by its?
By its Thermal Energy.
What is kinetic energy how is it measured?
I don't know how it is measured but i do know that it is basically movement energy. So if you waved your arm in the air right now, you have 'created' kinetic energy. hope this helps!
