Calculates the Kinetic Energy of an object. When work is done on an object, energy is transferred, and the object moves with a new constant speed. We call the energy that is transferred kinetic energy, and it depends on the mass and speed achieved. The kinetic energy equation is given as: KE = 1/2*m*v^2 Where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the body’s mass, and v is the body’s velocity.
- Parameters:
m (numeric) – mass of the object (kg)
v (numeric) – velocity of the object (m/s)
- Returns:
KE – kinetic energy of the object
- Return type:
numeric
