00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.734
Here is the problem: Find the kinetic energy of a 5 kg object moving at 12 m/s.

2
00:00:07.184 --> 00:00:12.525
Use the kinetic energy formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:13.325 --> 00:00:15.159
Formula: kinetic energy.

4
00:00:15.609 --> 00:00:17.536
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:18.336 --> 00:00:23.166
So the answer is kinetic energy KE equals 360 J.

6
00:00:23.616 --> 00:00:33.345
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
00:00:34.145 --> 00:00:39.695
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
