3.1.A—Describe the translational kinetic energy of an object in terms of the object’s mass and velocity
Describe the translational kinetic energy of an object in terms of the object’s mass and velocity.
- An object’s translational kinetic energy is given by the equation Km v1 2 2= .
- Translational kinetic energy is a scalar quantity.
- Different observers may measure different values of the translational kinetic energy of an object, depending on the observer’s frame of reference.
