Energy from Distance Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the Energy from Distance.
E = .5*(d/t)^2*m
- Where E is the Energy from Distance (J)
- d is the total distance (m)
- t is the total time (s)
- m is the mass (kg)
How to Calculate Energy from Distance?
The following example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Energy from Distance.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the total distance (m). In this example, the total distance (m) is determined to be 4 .
- Next, determine the total time (s). For this problem, the total time (s) is measured to be 3 .
- Next, determine the mass (kg). In this case, the mass (kg) is found to be 5.
- Finally, calculate the Energy from Distance using the formula above:
E = .5*(d/t)^2*m
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation yields:
E = .5*(4/3)^2*5 = 4.44 (J)
Example Problem #2
Using the same method as above, first, we need to measure or determine the variables required by the equation. For this example problem, these are provided as follows:
total distance (m) = 10
total time (s) = 12
mass (kg) = 3
Enter these given values into the calculator or above yields:
E = .5*(10/12)^2*3 = 1.041 (J)
