(also called vis viva, or living force)
this energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion
The kinetic energy of a body is equal to the amount of work
needed to establish
its velocity and rotation
starting from rest
Equations
Definition
the words in the above
equation state that the kinetic energy (Ek) is
equal to the integral of the dot product
of the velocity (v) of a body
and the infinitesimal of the body's momentum (p)
