Kinetic Energy to Force Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the force from kinetic energy is:

\[ F = \frac{\frac{1}{2} m v^2}{d} \]

Where:

\( F \) is the force (N)
\( m \) is the mass (kg)
\( v \) is the velocity (m/s)
\( d \) is the distance (m)

Can Kinetic Energy Be Converted to Force?

Yes, kinetic energy can be converted to force if you know the distance over which the force acted on the object. This is because, by definition, energy is force times distance. Therefore, if you have the kinetic energy and the distance, you can calculate the force using the above formula.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Mass (m): 10 kg
Velocity (v): 5 m/s
Distance (d): 2 m

Using the formula to calculate the force:

\[ F = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot 5^2}{2} = \frac{125}{2} = 62.5 \, \text{N} \]

The Force (F) is 62.5 N.
