Formula Used:

Kinetic energy is calculated using the equation:

KE = (1/2) × m × v²

• KE = kinetic energy (Joules, J)
• m = mass (kg)
• v = velocity (m/s)

The kinetic energy of an object depends on both its mass and velocity. It increases with the square of the velocity, meaning that doubling the velocity quadruples the kinetic energy.
