Kinetic energy (KE or $K_E$) is the energy of motion. It depends on mass and velocity: $KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ Kinetic energy uses the SI unit joules. Joules is a **derived unit** and it can be found by looking at the formula for kinetic energy. ![[Screen_Shot_2020-11-21_at_4.13.30_PM.png]] ### Related Topics --- [[Home|Home]] | [[Energy]] | [[Mechanical Energy]] | [[Kinetic Energy]] | [[Work-Energy Theorem]] | [[Potential Energy]] | [[Law of Conservation of Energy]] | [[Power]]
