Kinetic Energy

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.

Kinetic energy equals half the mass times the velocity squared.

Formula

QuantityVariable["K", "Energy"] == (QuantityVariable["m", "Mass"]*QuantityVariable["v", "Speed"]^2)/2
