Joule is the standard unit of measurement for kinetic energy.
<u>Some information about Kinetic Energy.</u>
Kinetic Energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. It is directly proportional to the velocity of the particle and its mass. Kinetic energy is given by,
KE = ½mv²
It occurs due to the motion of the particle.
If a particle at rest position, then the kinetic energy will be zero because that particle won't be accelerating.
