- Kinetic Energy (KE)
- Anything that's moving has kinetic energy
- An object's kinetic energy depends on both its mass and speed
- The greater its mass and the faster its going, the bigger its kinetic energy
- Kinetic Energy (J) = 0.5 x mss (kg) x velocity^2 ([m/s]^2)
- To increase something's KE, you need to increase its velocity
- The only way to increase an objects velocity is to apply a force to it
- Kinetic energy is just movement energy
- Anything that's moving has kinetic energy
- If an object doesn't accelerate, thenyou haven't increased its KE
