Here is the problem: Find the kinetic energy of a 45 kg object moving at 4 m/s.

2
00:00:07.416 --> 00:00:12.455
Use the kinetic energy formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:13.255 --> 00:00:15.124
Formula: kinetic energy.

4
00:00:15.574 --> 00:00:17.490
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:18.290 --> 00:00:23.050
So the answer is kinetic energy KE equals 360 J.

6
00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:33.322
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
00:00:34.122 --> 00:00:39.683
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
