00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.336
Here is the problem: Find the kinetic energy of a 1200 kg object moving at 25 m/s.

2
00:00:08.786 --> 00:00:13.767
Use the kinetic energy formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:14.567 --> 00:00:16.541
Formula: kinetic energy.

4
00:00:16.991 --> 00:00:18.872
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:19.672 --> 00:00:25.616
So the answer is kinetic energy KE equals 375000 J.

6
00:00:26.066 --> 00:00:35.876
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
00:00:36.676 --> 00:00:42.365
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
