00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.303
Here is the problem: Find the kinetic energy of a 0.5 kg object moving at 20 m/s.

2
00:00:07.753 --> 00:00:12.792
Use the kinetic energy formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:13.592 --> 00:00:15.543
Formula: kinetic energy.

4
00:00:15.993 --> 00:00:17.967
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:18.767 --> 00:00:22.819
So the answer is kinetic energy KE equals 100 J.

6
00:00:23.269 --> 00:00:33.010
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
00:00:33.810 --> 00:00:39.638
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
