- 1EnergyThe ability to do work.
- 2Kinetic EnergyThe amount of energy something has because it's in motion (Energy in motion.)
- 3Kinetic Energy Formula\[\frac{1}{2}mv^2\]
- 4Kinetic Energy Formula... m=___ v= ___m= Mass v= Velocity
- 5VelocityThe speed in which something moves or happens
- 6JoulesThe unit used to measure Kinetic Energy.
