What is Energy Calculator?
Computes kinetic energy of motion ($E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$) or potential energy stored within a gravitational field ($E_p = mgh$).
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter mass in kilograms.
- Enter velocity in meters per second.
- View energy in Joules, kilocalories, and kWh.
The Mathematical Formula & Variables
Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * Mass * Velocity^2
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: 64 kg runner moving at 10 m/s (approx 22.4 mph).
- Ek = 0.5 * 64 * 10^2 = 32 * 100 = 3,200 Joules.
Result: 3,200 Joules
