Which equation correctly relates kinetic energy mass and velocity
jolli1 [7]

Answer: The equation for kinetic energy is \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the virtue of object's motion. It is defined as the work needed to move a body of a given mass from rest to its velocity.

Mathematically,

K.E.=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body.

Hence, above equation relates kinetic energy to the mass and velocity of the body.
