How to Calculate Thermal Energy Joules From Kinetic Energy
Basically, take ur kinetic energy (0.5 * m * v^2), and assume it all converts to thermal energy. Easy-peasy!

Just remember, in a perfect world, kinetic energy converts directly to thermal energy, so use the same number of joules for both.
To calculate thermal energy in joules from kinetic energy, use the formula: KE = 0.5 * m * v^2. You'll need the mass (m) and velocity (v) of the object. Once you have KE in joules, you can then relate it to thermal energy if the kinetic energy is converted fully into heat.
