Kinetic Energy (KE)
The energy an object possesses due to its motion. It depends on the mass ($m$) and velocity ($v$).
KE = ½ · m · v²

Energy Concepts
Energy exists in many forms. This calculator focuses on mechanical energy: the energy associated with the motion (Kinetic) and position (Potential) of an object.
Potential Energy (PE)
Gravitational potential energy is stored energy based on an object's height ($h$) and mass ($m$) in a gravity field ($g$).
PE = m · g · h
Work-Energy Theorem
The net work ($W$) done on an object equals its change in kinetic energy ($\Delta KE$).
W = KEfinal - KEinitial
Work Energy Calculator Guide
Work–Energy Principle
The net work done on an object equals its change in kinetic energy: W_net = ΔKE.
Relation
W_net = KE_final − KE_initial
Example
If KE increases from 30 J to 70 J, W_net = 70 − 30 = 40 J.
FAQs
Conservative forces?
They can be represented via potential energy; non-conservative do real work.
Friction?
Friction does negative work, reducing mechanical energy.
