The discussion revolves around calculating kinetic energy (KE) in the context of potential energy (PE) values provided, specifically 15000 J and 11250 J. Participants are exploring the relationship between these forms of energy, particularly in scenarios involving a falling body.
Some participants have prompted the original poster to clarify their approach and provide equations or attempts at solving the problem. There is an ongoing exploration of the assumptions behind the potential energy values and their application to kinetic energy calculations.
There is a suggestion that the potential energy values may lack context without a specific problem scenario, such as a body in motion or falling, which could influence the calculation of kinetic energy.
I NEED HELP said:OK let's say that PE=15000 or 11250 J (J=Joules) how would you find out what the KE is?
just want to find out how to get the Kinectic Energy?
