Kinetic Energy and Momentum
The kinetic energy of an object is the energy associated with the object which is under motion. It is defined as “the energy required by a body to accelerate from rest to stated velocity.” It is a vector quantity. The SI Unit of Kinetic Energy is Joules.
KE = ½ m v² – where, m is the mass of the object measured in kg and v is the velocity of the object measured in m/s
The momentum of an object is the virtue of its mass. It is defined as the product of mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity. The momentum of a particle is given by the equation,
P = mv – where P is the momentum of the particle, m is the mass of the particle, and v is the velocity of the particle.
With this calculator you can calculate the kinetic energy KE and the momentum P of a mass point from a given mass m and a given velocity v.
