Question

the equation for kinetic energy is below. based off the equation, what is the units joules (j) also equal to?

ke = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \times m \times v ^ { 2 }

symbol	variable	unit
( m )	mass	kg
( v )	velocity	m/s

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute units into the formula

Substitute \(m = kg\) and \(v=m/s\) into \(KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\).

Step2: Calculate the units
