    Using the kinetic energy calculator

This kinetic energy calculator is useful for estimating the energy a body acquires through movement of any kind.

For example, it can be used to calculate the kinetic energy of a person, vehicle (car, truck, train), plane, football, as well as for falling bodies that crash into the ground. It can also be used to calculate the energy of different kinds of projectiles: bullets, arrows, kinetic shells.

Potential energy formula

To calculate the kinetic energy you need to know only the body's mass and velocity. Its acceleration does not matter since the energy is calculated at a particular moment of time.

The KE calculator can also be used to solve for any of the other values: mass and velocity.

The respective input fields will be hidden or displayed upon selecting what you want to use the calculator for. When solving for mass you need to know velocity and kinetic energy, while when so
