00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.814
Here is the problem: Find the kinetic energy of a 0.15 kg object moving at 40 m/s.

2
00:00:08.264 --> 00:00:13.349
Use the kinetic energy formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:14.149 --> 00:00:16.065
Formula: kinetic energy.

4
00:00:16.515 --> 00:00:18.431
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:19.231 --> 00:00:23.480
So the answer is kinetic energy KE equals 120 J.

6
00:00:23.930 --> 00:00:33.740
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
00:00:34.540 --> 00:00:40.194
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
