Velocity Formula:
From: | To: |
The velocity from kinetic energy formula calculates the velocity of an object based on its kinetic energy and mass. This formula is derived from the kinetic energy equation \( KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \).
The calculator uses the velocity formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula rearranges the kinetic energy equation to solve for velocity, showing the direct relationship between kinetic energy, mass, and velocity.
Details: Calculating velocity from kinetic energy is important in physics and engineering for analyzing motion, energy conservation, and collision dynamics.
Tips: Enter kinetic energy in joules (J) and mass in kilograms (kg). Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero.
Q1: What units should I use for the inputs?
A: Kinetic energy should be in joules (J) and mass in kilograms (kg) for the result to be in meters per second (m/s).
Q2: Can this formula be used for any object?
A: Yes, this formula applies to any object with known kinetic energy and mass, assuming non-relativistic speeds.
Q3: What if the mass is zero?
A: Mass cannot be zero as it would result in division by zero, which is mathematically undefined.
Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact based on the inputs, assuming the classical physics model applies.
Q5: Can I use this for gases or fluids?
A: This formula is primarily for solid objects. For gases and fluids, additional factors like pressure and density need to be considered.
