Description: Transcript: Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. It depends on both mass and velocity and is defined mathematically as a half times the mass times the velocity squared. Thus, kinetic energy increases linearly with mass but as the square of the velocity. A small object moving very fast can have a large kinetic energy, and a slow object that is very massive can have a large kinetic energy. If you do the calculation, you’ll actually find out that a speeding bullet really does have almost as much energy as a running human.
