Here is the problem: Find the kinetic energy of a 900 kg object moving at 15 m/s.

2
00:00:07.486 --> 00:00:12.525
Use the kinetic energy formula, rearranged for the unknown, in SI units.

3
00:00:13.325 --> 00:00:15.299
Formula: kinetic energy.

4
00:00:15.749 --> 00:00:17.688
Substitute the known values.

5
00:00:18.488 --> 00:00:24.467
So the answer is kinetic energy KE equals 101250 J.

6
00:00:24.917 --> 00:00:34.774
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
00:00:35.574 --> 00:00:41.182
Substituted every value back into the formula: both sides agree, which checks out.
