What is the correct equation for calculating kinetic energy?

1. kinetic energy = potential energy - total energy
2. kinetic energy = total energy - potential energy
3. kinetic energy = 1/2 x (total energy + potential energy)
4. kinetic energy = potential + total energy

Answer:

2. kinetic energy = total energy - potential energy

Step-by-step explanation:

The total energy of a system is the addition of kinetic and potential energy of the system. Kinetic energy can be regarded as form of energy posses by an object when it's in motion

Total energy = kinetic energy + potential energy

(If we make Kinectic energy the subject of the formula, we have)

kinetic energy = total energy - potential energy
