I was reading about Kinetic Energy and why it is 1/2 mv^2. I couldn't really understand what it was saying, it was mentioning a constant of proportionality being:
[tex]\frac{kg * m^2/s^2}{m^2/s^2}[/tex] and then of course you're left with mass. It was very confusing, so basically what I'm asking is for a basic mathematical explanation of why Ke=1/2mv^2
Thanks in advance.
