00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.127
Here is the problem: Find the kinetic energy of a 0.06 kg object moving at 300 m/s.

2
00:00:08.577 --> 00:00:13.802
Use the kinetic energy formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:14.601 --> 00:00:16.575
Formula: kinetic energy.

4
00:00:17.025 --> 00:00:18.975
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:19.776 --> 00:00:24.733
So the answer is kinetic energy KE equals 2700 J.

6
00:00:25.183 --> 00:00:34.831
Kinetic energy grows with the square of speed: doubling v multiplies KE by four. It is never negative, and the speed found from KE is a magnitude.

7
00:00:35.631 --> 00:00:41.227
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
