Translational Kinetic Energy

Translational kinetic energy, abbreviated as \(KE_t\), is the energy an object has because of its motion from one place to another, it does not matter if it is rotating.

 

Translational Kinetic Energy formula

\(\large{ KE_t = \frac {1}{2}\; m \; v^2 }\)

Where:

\(\large{ KE_r }\) = translational kinetic energy

\(\large{ m }\) = mass

\(\large{ v }\) = velocity
