Find the kinetic energy of an object, given its mass and velocity.
|
|
|
|
Description : In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it
|
|
possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a
|
|
given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its
|
|
acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same
|
|
amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state
|
|
of rest. Formally, a kinetic energy is any term in a system's Lagrangian which includes
|
|
a derivative with respect to time.
|
|
|
|
In classical mechanics, the kinetic energy of a non-rotating object of mass m traveling
|
|
at a speed v is ½mv². In relativistic mechanics, this is a good approximation only when
|
|
v is much less than the speed of light. The standard unit of kinetic energy is the
|
|
joule, while the English unit of kinetic energy is the foot-pound.
