The kinetic energy of a moving object can be calculated using the equation. The greater the mass and the speed of the object the greater its kinetic energy. How do we calculate gravitational potential energy on Earth.
- Doubling the mass.
Thermal energy is the randomized distribution of kinetic energy within the material resulting in statistical fluctuations of the material about the equilibrium configuration. A 36kg boy is running at 3 ms. The formula for calculating kinetic energy KE is KE 05 x mv 2. Elastic energy of or within a substance is static energy of configuration.
