00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.571
Here is the problem: Find the kinetic energy of a 60 kg object moving at 6 m/s.

2
00:00:07.021 --> 00:00:12.037
Use the kinetic energy formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:12.837 --> 00:00:14.648
Formula: kinetic energy.

4
00:00:15.098 --> 00:00:17.002
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:17.802 --> 00:00:22.481
So the answer is kinetic energy KE equals 1080 J.

6
00:00:22.931 --> 00:00:32.695
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
00:00:33.495 --> 00:00:39.103
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
