  2. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the mass maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the object when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest. [2] The SI unit of kinetic energy is the joule, while the English unit of kinetic energy is the foot-pound.

  3. Kinetic theory of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases

    Thus, the ratio of the kinetic energy to the absolute temperature of an ideal monatomic gas can be calculated easily: per mole: 12.47 J/K; per molecule: 20.7 yJ/K = 129 μeV/K; At standard temperature (273.15 K), the kinetic energy can also be obtained: per mole: 3406 J; per molecule: 5.65 zJ = 35.2 meV.

  5. Specific kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_kinetic_energy

    The specific kinetic energy of a system is a crucial parameter in understanding its dynamic behavior and plays a key role in various scientific and engineering applications. Specific kinetic energy is an intensive property, whereas kinetic energy and mass are extensive properties. The SI unit for specific kinetic energy is the joule per ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(energy)

    Kinetic energy of a regulation baseball thrown at the speed of the Oh-My-God particle, itself a cosmic ray proton with the kinetic energy of a baseball thrown at 60 mph (~50 J). [246] 10 28: 3.8×10 28 J: Kinetic energy of the Moon in its orbit around the Earth (counting only its velocity relative to the Earth) [247] [248] 7×10 28 J

  7. Energy–momentum relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy–momentum_relation

    For photons, this is the relation, discovered in 19th century classical electromagnetism, between radiant momentum (causing radiation pressure) and radiant energy. If the body's speed v is much less than c, then reduces to E = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ m 0 v 2 + m 0 c 2; that is, the body's total energy is simply its classical kinetic energy (⁠ 1 / 2 ...

  9. Electronvolt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronvolt

    By dividing a particle's kinetic energy in electronvolts by the fundamental constant c (the speed of light), one can describe the particle's momentum in units of eV/c. [5] In natural units in which the fundamental velocity constant c is numerically 1, the c may informally be omitted to express momentum using the unit electronvolt.
