Kinetic Energy to Force Calculator
Kinetic Energy to Force Calculator
Our Kinetic Energy to Force Calculator allows you to determine force acting on an object based on its kinetic energy and the distance over which that force is applied.
- Kinetic Energy (KE): 100 J
- Distance (d): 2 m
F = 100 / 2 = 50 N
Result: The force is 50 N.
- Kinetic Energy (KE): 500 J
- Distance (d): 10 m
F = 500 / 10 = 50 N
Result: The force is 50 N.
Kinetic Energy to Force Conversion Chart
Kinetic Energy (KE) | Distance (d) | Force (F) | Formula Used |
---|---|---|---|
100 J | 10 m | 10.0 N | 100 ÷ 10 = 10.0 |
200 J | 20 m | 10.0 N | 200 ÷ 20 = 10.0 |
500 J | 25 m | 20.0 N | 500 ÷ 25 = 20.0 |
1,000 J | 50 m | 20.0 N | 1,000 ÷ 50 = 20.0 |
2,000 J | 100 m | 20.0 N | 2,000 ÷ 100 = 20.0 |
5,000 J | 50 m | 100.0 N | 5,000 ÷ 50 = 100.0 |
10,000 J | 100 m | 100.0 N | 10,000 ÷ 100 = 100.0 |
20,000 J | 200 m | 100.0 N | 20,000 ÷ 200 = 100.0 |
How to Convert Kinetic Energy to Force?
To convert kinetic energy to force, divide the kinetic energy by displacement distance. This calculation gives average force required to stop an object with given kinetic energy over the specified distance, based on work-energy principle.
- Kinetic Energy (KE): 200 J
- Distance (d): 5 m
F = 200 / 5 = 40 N
Result: The force is 40 N.
- Kinetic Energy (KE): 1000 J
- Distance (d): 50 m
F = 1000 / 50 = 20 N
Result: The force is 20 N.
For example, if you have 100 joules of kinetic energy and a displacement of 2 meters, divide 100 by 2 to get 50 newtons of force.
Kinetic Energy to Force Formula
Basic Conversion Formula:
Force = Kinetic Energy ÷ Distance
Where:
Kinetic Energy = Energy in joules (J)
Distance = Displacement in meters (m)
Force = Resultant force in newtons (N)
Kinetic Energy Formula:
Kinetic Energy = ½ × mass × velocity²
Where:
Mass = Object's mass in kilograms (kg)
Velocity = Speed in meters per second (m/s)
Example 1: Small Impact
- Kinetic Energy = 100 J
- Distance = 0.5 m
- Calculation = 100 ÷ 0.5
- Result = 200 N
Example 2: Vehicle Collision
- Kinetic Energy = 50000 J
- Distance = 2 m
- Calculation = 50000 ÷ 2
- Result = 25000 N
Example 3: Sports Impact
- Kinetic Energy = 200 J
- Distance = 0.1 m
- Calculation = 200 ÷ 0.1
- Result = 2000 N
Example 4: Machine Operation
- Kinetic Energy = 1000 J
- Distance = 0.25 m
- Calculation = 1000 ÷ 0.25
- Result = 4000 N
Example 5: Light Impact
- Kinetic Energy = 50 J
- Distance = 1 m
- Calculation = 50 ÷ 1
- Result = 50 N
What is Kinetic Energy and Force?
Kinetic Energy (KE): Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object due to its motion. The formula is: KE = (1/2) m v²
Where:
- m: Mass of the object (in kg)
- v: Velocity of the object (in m/s)
Force (F): Force is an interaction that causes an object to change its motion, direction, or shape. The formula for force when work is involved is: F = KE / d
Where:
- d: Distance over which the force is applied (in meters)
- KE: Kinetic Energy (in joules)
