FAQ
How is kinetic energy calculated?
It uses KE = ½mv²: half the mass times the speed squared.
Why does doubling speed quadruple the energy?
Because speed is squared in the formula, so doubling it multiplies the energy by four.
What units does the kinetic-energy calculation use?
Mass in kilograms and speed in metres per second give energy in joules, also shown in kilojoules.
Does the Kinetic Energy Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Kinetic Energy Calculator runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or shared.
Worked example
A 2 kg object at 10 m/s has KE = ½ × 2 × 10² = 100 J.
