About this tool
Pick kinetic or potential energy, then enter mass with speed or height. Kinetic energy is half m v squared; potential energy is m g h with g = 9.81. All physics tools here use standard textbook formulas, labelled as such.
Frequently asked questions
What units should I use?
Use the units on the labels (kg, m, s, N, J, W) so the formula's result comes out in standard units.
Is this exact?
The formula is standard textbook physics; real measurements carry their own errors, but the arithmetic is exact.
