More information is needed. Once you have both the mass and the speed, you can calculate kinetic energy as (1/2)mv2 (1/2 times mass times speed squared).

How Kinetic Energy is related to Potential Energy?
Potential and kinetic energy are sort of like inverses. They are not technically inverses strictly speaking in the mathematical sense. Potential energy can become kinetic energy, and vice versa. Keep in mind the mathematical concept of the change in each. (change in) Potential energy= (change in) Kinetic energy. For example, let's say that we had a mass of 1 kg suspended 1 metre above the ground. If we drop it, its kinetic energy by the time it hits the ground is (1/2)mv2 . (1/2)(1kg)(9.82 ) (m2 ) or 48.02J It's potential energy at this point is 0, because it is on the ground and is not suspended in the air. Potential and kinetic energies act as inverses because before the mass was dropped its kinetic energy was 0 and its potential energy was 48.02J. By the time the mass had dropped to the ground however, the potential energy had all transferred into kinetic energy.
Potential and kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is energy that is moving or in motion. Potential energy is energy that is still but has potential to move. Both energy's can switch back and forth from each other. Energy is never lost, it just changes forms. Hope this helps!
What happens to thermal energy when temperatures increase?
When the temperature of a material increase, thermal energy is added to the material. It also increases the kinetic and potential energy of the particles. When the temperature reach the boiling or melting point, the kinetic energy stays the same, but the thermal energy and the potential energy still keeps adding and increasing. And when ONLY the potential energy increase, the state of the material changes from one to another.
What If you have four balls all traveling at 5 meters per second which one has the most kinetic energy?
If several objects have the same speed and the same velocity,then each has the same kinetic energy.
If all were at the same temperature how would the average kinetic energy of the particles compare an iron cube an aluminum cube and a balloon filled with helium gas?
If the two metals are at the same temperature then the atoms in each would have the same average kinetic energy. Temperature is a measure of the "average energy per degree of freedom". To simplify things somewhat, kinetic energy is one of these degrees of freedom and so if they have the same temperature they have the same kinetic energy. Go to the related link below for a fuller understanding of the connection between kinetic energy and temperature.
How are potential kinetic energy different from each other?
Difference is that kinetic energy is the energy of motion and potential is stored energy.
How are temperature and kinetic energy related to each other?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of an object.
How is temperature of an object related to its kinetic energy?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of each individual particle inside an object.
How does kinetic energy change with each state of matter?
When any substance goes from solid to liquid to gas, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.Molecules in the gaseous state have the most kinetic energy.Molecules in the solid state have the least kinetic energy.
Explain the difference between total and average molecular kinetic energy of gas contained in a box?
Average Kinetic Energy is determined by the temperate of the gas. The higher the temperature, the higher the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.Total Kinetic Energy is the average kinetic energy multiplied by the mass - the number of gas molecules in the box.- DENNIS LAM
What are three basic forms of energy and an example of each?

What are the two kinds of energy that all particles have?
isn't it like potential energy or kinetic energy? something like that All matter has mass energy. This energy is given by Einstein's formula E = mc2
Need an explanation why kinetic energy is always conserved during elastic collision what is meant by conserved?
In this context "conserved" means the total kinetic energy of all the objects is the same after the collision as before the collision. Note, the TOTAL is the same but the individual kinetic energies of each object may be different before and after. When two or more objects are about to collide they have a certain total kinetic energy. It is common that during the collision some of the kinetic energy is transformed into heat. So after the collision the total kinetic energy is less then before the collision. This is a non-elastic collision. There are some collisions, however, in which none of the kinetic energy is changed to heat. These are called ELASTIC collisions. So the total kinetic energy doesn't change, or is "conserved". There is another possible non-elastic collision. If during the collision there is an explosion, then its possible for the objects to have a larger total kinetic energy after the collision as they aquire some of the explosive energy. Finally note, that in all collisions the TOTAL vector momentum is the same just before and just after the collision. So in a collision momentum is always conserved.
How do the forms of potential energy kinetic energy non-mechanical also mechanical energy related to each other?
Mechanical energy comprises of both potential and kinetic energy. For example- Flying kite

Why is the kinetic energy of each passenger different?
because they keep on bouncing about
How is the temperature of an object related to its kinetic energy?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of each individual particle inside an object.
