This transformed energy may appear as kinetic energy. \(m\) is the mass of the object in kilograms (\(kg\)) and \(v\) is the speed of the object in metres per second (\(m\,s^{-1}\)).

Velocity is speed in a particular direction. Velocity (v) is also measured in m/s. The more mass an object has, the more energy in the kinetic energy store. A runner with a mass of 60kg is running ...

Consideration of these agencies in connection with the all-pervading law of the conservation of energy proved for them by Joule, led me twenty-three years ago to the theory of the dissipation of ...
