Final Kinetic Energy Calculator

The Final Kinetic Energy Calculator allows users to input the initial kinetic energy, change in mass, and change in velocity to determine the final kinetic energy. The calculation is based on the following formula:

Final Kinetic Energy Formula

The formula used to calculate final kinetic energy is:
\[ KE_f = KE_i + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \Delta m \cdot (\Delta V)^2 \]

• \( KE_f \) = Final Kinetic Energy (Joules)
• \( KE_i \) = Initial Kinetic Energy (Joules)
• \( \Delta m \) = Change in Mass (kg)
• \( \Delta V \) = Change in Velocity (m/s)

Units for Final Kinetic Energy

The units for final kinetic energy are typically Joules (J), which is the standard unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI).

How to Calculate Final Kinetic Energy

To calculate the final kinetic energy:

1. Determine the Initial Kinetic Energy: This is the starting kinetic energy of the object before any changes in mass or velocity.
2. Calculate the Change in Mass: Find the difference in mass (if any) during the event or process.
3. Calculate the Change in Velocity: Determine the difference between the initial and final velocities of the object.
4. Apply the Formula: Plug these values into the formula to compute the final kinetic energy.
