What does independent variable and dependent variable mean and what they do?

It means that you can change one variable (the independent variable) freely, but that the other variable (the dependent variable) depends on the independent variable. For example, to calculate kinetic energy, the energy (for a given object) depends on the speed; if you change the speed, you change the kinetic energy. You can't change the kinetic energy directly, only indirectly by changing the speed.


What unit is used for kinetic energy?

The same units as for any type of energy. There is no special unit for kinetic energy.


Kinetic energy of a moving object varies directly with the square of velocity If a car moving at 60mph has kinetic energy 180 units how many units of kinetic energy does the same car have at 20mph?

The "units" are called joules (J), not to be impolite. The answer would be about 19.9809 J.


In what units is kinetic energy measured in?

mass and speed


What is the units for kinetic energy?

kinetic energy like any other form of energy , its measuring units are joule or calorie or Btu or toe , the most common used units are joule and calorie according to what field you are using kinetic energy in , in thermodynamics we use calorie but in oscillations and waves we use joules


What does not have the same units as the others Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy or Work?

momentum


What unit is use for energy?

Should a large truck and a small car moving at the same speed have the same kinetic energy?

No. The large truck has more kinetic energy than the car. Mass is a variable in the equation for determining kinetic energy. Kinetic energy equals 1/2 the mass of the object time the speed (really velocity) squared.


Cgs unit of kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy= mv2 /2 Units for mass in CGS-gm Units for Velocity in CGS-cm/sec Therefore Unit of KE in CGS=gm(cm/sec)2 = ergs


What units are kinetic energy measured in?

To measure kinetic energy:Let us suppose an object of mass m moving wtih velocity vKinetic Energy of that object= mv2/2


How factors are used to calculate the kinetic energy of an object?

KE = (1/2)mv2 where m = mass (in kilograms), and v = velocity (in meters/second) this gives you the kinetic energy in units of Joules
