Question

K=mv^2/2 solve for v

Answer 1

Answer: $v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2K}{m} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

First, multiply by 2 to get rid of the 2 in the denominator. Remember that if you make any changes you have to make sure the equation keeps balanced, so do it on both sides as following;

$2*K=\frac{mv^2}{2}*2$

$2K=mv^2$

Divide by m to isolate $v^2$.

$\frac{2K}{m}=\frac{mv^2}{m}$

$\frac{2K}{m} =v^2$

To eliminate the square and isolate v, extract the square root.

$\sqrt[]{\frac{2K}{m} }=\sqrt[]{v^2}$

$\sqrt[]{\frac{2K}{m} }=v$

let's rewrite it in a way that v is in the left side.

$v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2K}{m} }$
