Guest TerryH Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Could someone tell me the formula for kinetic energy and do a sample problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TerryH Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Re: kinetic energy What is the 450,240 number? What does it represent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deadeye270 Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Re: kinetic energy thats why they call it a formula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitrrophybowhunter Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Re: kinetic energy The equation for KE = 1/2 (m*(v^2)) The constant of 450,240 is the conversion from meters/second to ft/sec and kilograms to grams. It is not truely part of the equation. It has become a "standard" template among bowhunters for an easier equation to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
