    the distance traveled by the accelerated object in time t, we find with = for the velocity v of the ... This equation states that the kinetic energy (E k) ...

  3. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    Thus, the ratio of the kinetic energy to the absolute temperature of an ideal monatomic gas can be calculated easily: per mole: 12.47 J/K; per molecule: 20.7 yJ/K = 129 μeV/K; At standard temperature (273.15 K), the kinetic energy can also be obtained: per mole: 3406 J; per molecule: 5.65 zJ = 35.2 meV.

  4. Braking distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_distance

    The theoretical braking distance can be found by determining the work required to dissipate the vehicle's kinetic energy. [10] The kinetic energy E is given by the formula: =, where m is the vehicle's mass and v is the speed at the start of braking. The work W done by braking is given by:

  5. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)

    In science, work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement.In its simplest form, for a constant force aligned with the direction of motion, the work equals the product of the force strength and the distance traveled.

  6. Lagrangian mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_mechanics

    Kinetic energy T is the energy of the system's motion and is a function only of the velocities v k, not the positions r k, nor time t, so T = T(v 1, v 2, ...). V , the potential energy of the system, reflects the energy of interaction between the particles, i.e. how much energy any one particle has due to all the others, together with any ...

  7. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    Hence, all the energy possessed by the gas is the kinetic energy of the molecules, or atoms, of the gas. = This corresponds to the kinetic energy of n moles of a monoatomic gas having 3 degrees of freedom; x, y, z. The table here below gives this relationship for different amounts of a monoatomic gas.

  9. Circular orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_orbit

    the kinetic energy of the system is equal to the absolute value of the total energy; the potential energy of the system is equal to twice the total energy; The escape velocity from any distance is √ 2 times the speed in a circular orbit at that distance: the kinetic energy is twice as much, hence the total energy is zero.
