Answer: The equation for kinetic energy is [tex]\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the virtue of object's motion. It is defined as the work needed to move a body of a given mass from rest to its velocity.
Mathematically,
[tex]K.E.=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]
where,
m = mass of the body
v = velocity of the body.
Hence, above equation relates kinetic energy to the mass and velocity of the body.
