What is kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.

How to Calculate Loss of kinetic energy during impact?

Loss of kinetic energy during impact calculator uses Kinetic Energy = (1/2)*(((Mass of First Particle*(Initial Velocity of First Mass^2))+(Mass of Second Particle*(Initial Velocity of Second Mass^2)))-((Mass of First Particle*(Final Velocity of First Mass^2))+(Mass of Second Particle*(Final Velocity of Second Mass^2)))) to calculate the Kinetic Energy, The Loss of kinetic energy during impact formula is defined as the sum of the product of mass, the square of the initial velocity of first body and product of mass and square of the initial velocity of second body substracted by the sum of the product of mass, square of final velocity of first body and mass, square of final velocity of second body divided by 2. Kinetic Energy is denoted by KE symbol.

How to calculate Loss of kinetic energy during impact using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Loss of kinetic energy during impact, enter Mass of First Particle (m₁), Initial Velocity of First Mass (u₁), Mass of Second Particle (m₂), Initial Velocity of Second Mass (u₂), Final Velocity of First Mass (v₁) & Final Velocity of Second Mass (v₂) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Loss of kinetic energy during impact calculation can be explained with given input values -> 160 = (1/2)*(((115*(18^2))+(25*(10^2)))-((115*(16^2))+(25*(20^2)))).
