-Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. As long as an object is moving at the same velocity, it will maintain the same kinetic energy.
-The kinetic energy of an object is calculated from the velocity and the mass of the object. K.E =1/2 mv²
-From the formula the velocity is squared which means it can have a significant impact on kinetic energy, thus the higher the velocity the higher the kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is also impacted by the mass of a body, such that the higher the mass the higher the kinetic energy.
To correctly document the pulse that is palpated behind the
knee, the healthcare practitioner would document this as the pulse of the
popliteal artery. The popliteal artery extends from the femoral artery and is
located in the knee, at the back of the leg.
