Kinetic energy is the energy possessed object because its motion. So that kinetic energy is also called the energy of motion. Berputra bicycle wheels, plastic floating, children ran, all have kinetic energy. How much? Kinetic energy depends on its mass and speed of moving objects.
The greater the mass of moving body kinetic energy is also increasingly besar.Demikian also the faster the object moves, the greater the kinetic energy. Truck traveling at 50 m / s will have a kinetic energy much larger than the motor that drove the same speed. Mathematically formulated Kinetic Energy:
definition:
Ek = kinetic energy (Joule)
m = mass of the object (kg)
v = velocity (m / s ^ 2)
