Specific kinetic energy - Alchetron, the free social encyclopedia

Common symbols ke, or ek Derivations from other quantities ek = ½v		SI unit J/kg, or m/s

Specific kinetic energy is kinetic energy of an object per unit of mass.

It is defined as e k = 1 2 v 2 .

Where e k is the specific kinetic energy and v is velocity. It has units of J/kg, which is equivalent to m²/s².
