KE = (1/2)mv2
where m = mass (in kilograms), and v = velocity (in meters/second)
this gives you the kinetic energy in units of Joules

Why do particles have different amounts of kinetic energy?
Because they have different temperatures and when you measure an object's temperature, you measure the average kinetic energy of all the particles in the object.
What is the average kinetic energy of particles in an object can be measured by its?
By its Thermal Energy.
How is kinetic energy formed?
Kinetic energy is a form of energy that comes from motion. Therefore any moving object (that has a mass!) has kinetic energy. For kinetic energy to be produced, a force must act upon an object to give it an acceleration, to put it in motion. The simplest case is the conversion of potentiel energy to kinetic energy. When an object is far from its "normal" standing position (in this case the ground), it is said to have potential energy. When this object is attracted by the force of gravity, its potential energy is slowly converting into kinetic energy because the objet keeps on accelerating.
Explain how the motion of a swing illustrates the transformation between potential and kinetic energy?
1) at the top of the swing, the swinging object has all potential energy and no kinetic energy (no speed at that moment) while at the bottom there is no potential energy but a maximum in kinetic energy, so that the swinging object is fastest at the bottom.
When a car crashes where does the kinetic energy go?
Into the object(s) with which the car crashed into.
Explain the factors that determine an object's kinetic energy?
There are two factors that determine and object's kinetic energy. The two main factors are mass and velocity.
What are two factors affect an object's kinetic energy?
What are the two factors that affect an objects kinetic energy
What factors determine an object's kinetic energy?
Look at the equation for kinetic energy. It clearly shows that the kinetic energy depends on the object's mass, and its speed.
what factors does the kinetic energy of an object depend on?
The mass and speed of the object
What factors does kinetic energy of an object depend on?
The mass and speed of the object
What factors does the kinetic energy of an object depend on (apex)?
The mass and speed of the object
How do you calculate an objects mechanical energy?
An object's mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy it possesses.
Which two factors can be caclulated to determine the kinetic energy of an object?
The kinetic energy of any moving object is one-half the product ofthe object's mass and the square of its speed.
What is The primary factor in decreasing the Kinetic Energy of an object?
Important factors in decreasing Kinetic Energy are Gravity and 'drag' from Friction.
What is needed to calculate kinetic energy?
Mass of a body and its speed are needed to calculate kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of an object = mv2/2 This formula is useful only when object's speed is much less than speed of light.
When you multiply half the mass of an object by its speed squared you calculate its?
kinetic energy
What 2 factors determine how much kinetic energy an object has?
Mass and Velocity
