00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.291
Here is the problem: Find the kinetic energy of a 8 kg object moving at 2.5 m/s.

2
00:00:07.741 --> 00:00:12.768
Use the kinetic energy formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:13.568 --> 00:00:15.576
Formula: kinetic energy.

4
00:00:16.027 --> 00:00:17.931
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:18.731 --> 00:00:22.783
So the answer is kinetic energy KE equals 25 J.

6
00:00:23.233 --> 00:00:33.252
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
00:00:34.052 --> 00:00:39.613
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
