identifying the equation for kinetic energy\nwhich is the correct equation for calculating the kinetic energy of an object?\nke = mgh ke = 1/2mv² ke = 1/2at² ke = 1/4g²
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The formula for kinetic energy of an object with mass $m$ and velocity $v$ is $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$. The formula $KE = mgh$ is for gravitational - potential energy, $KE=\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ is not a correct kinetic - energy formula (it is related to displacement in uniformly - accelerated motion), and $KE=\frac{1}{4}g^{2}$ is also incorrect for kinetic energy.
# Answer:
$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$
