Title: Formulas for KE and stored energy
Post by: Jeff Cooper on February 07, 2007, 12:56:00 AM

I am doing a physics project and I can't find the formulas for figuring out Kinetic energy and also how to convert the area under the force-draw-curve line into ft-lbs...I think the KE formula is mass x velocity squared divided by 450,240, but I am not positive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jeff Cooper

Yep, that is it, but couldn't tell you the others however if you do a search for kinetic energy on the pow wow there is a post that has all the charts and formulas you will ever need,,,, regards
