Review

The units of kinetic energy are kg $\cdot$ $\mathrm{m}^2/\mathrm{s}^2$ . Since 1J = 1N $\cdot$ m and 1N = 1kg $\cdot$ $\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}^2$ , you can see that kinetic energy is measured in joules, the same as work. Using the definition of kinetic energy given in Equation 6-8, we can rewrite Equation 6-7 as:
