Just rearrange the kinetic energy formula: KE = 0.5 * m * v^2. Isolate v and you'll get v = sqrt(2 * KE / m).

Take the kinetic energy (KE), multiply by 2, divide by mass (m), and then take the square root. Boom, velocity!

Honestly, just use v = sqrt(2 * KE / m). It's as simple as it gets.

Pro tip: v = sqrt(2 * KE / m). Works like a charm every time!
