K.E = p^2/m
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It is calculated as half of the mass of the object multiplied by the square of its velocity.
Kinetic energy is the energy an object has while it is in motion, while potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or condition. Kinetic energy can be converted into potential energy and vice versa.
An object's kinetic energy is affected by its mass and velocity. The greater the mass and velocity of an object, the greater its kinetic energy will be.
Momentum is a measure of an object's motion, taking into account both its mass and velocity. It is calculated as the product of an object's mass and velocity.
In a closed system, the total momentum remains constant. This means that the total momentum before an interaction or event is equal to the total momentum after the interaction or event. This is known as the law of conservation of momentum.
