How Do You Find Kinetic Energy Without Velocity?
Tricky one! If you don't have the velocity, you can use the work-energy principle or find it using another method like potential energy loss. Good luck!

You can't calculate kinetic energy without velocity. You either find the velocity first or use another form of energy equation.
From my experience in physics class, we often used potential energy converted to kinetic energy to figure it out. For instance, if you know the height an object fell from and its mass, you can use gravitational potential energy (mgh) to find the kinetic energy.
If you know the force applied and the distance over which it was applied, you can use the work-energy theorem to find the kinetic energy. It's all about being clever with available data!
