Cara Menghitung Kinetic Energy

learn.whatIsHeading

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. It depends on both mass and the square of velocity — doubling speed quadruples kinetic energy, while doubling mass only doubles it. KE is the work-energy theorem in action: the net work done on an object equals the change in its kinetic energy.

Rumus

KE = ½mv² (joules, J)
KE
½mv² (joules — ½mv² (joules
J
J value — Variable used in the calculation

Panduan Langkah demi Langkah

  1. 1KE = ½mv² (joules, J)
  2. 2m = mass in kg, v = velocity in m/s
  3. 3Momentum p = mv (kg⋅m/s) — conserved in collisions
  4. 4Work done to bring to rest = KE (e.g. braking distance calculation)
  5. 5KE is scalar (no direction); momentum is a vector

Contoh Terpecahkan

Masukan
70 kg person running at 10 m/s (36 km/h)
Hasil
KE = ½ × 70 × 100 = 3,500 J
Equivalent to lifting ~350 kg by 1 metre
Masukan
1,500 kg car at 30 m/s (108 km/h)
Hasil
KE = 675,000 J = 675 kJ
Explains why speeding is so dangerous
Masukan
0.006 kg bullet at 900 m/s
Hasil
KE = 2,430 J — more than a running person
