Here is the problem: Find the kinetic energy of a 3000 kg object moving at 10 m/s.

2
00:00:07.567 --> 00:00:12.687
Use the kinetic energy formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:13.487 --> 00:00:15.379
Formula: kinetic energy.

4
00:00:15.829 --> 00:00:17.721
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:18.521 --> 00:00:23.455
So the answer is kinetic energy KE equals 150000 J.

6
00:00:23.905 --> 00:00:33.762
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
00:00:34.562 --> 00:00:40.297
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
