I need to re-arrange the following equation to determine terminal velocity: Kinetic energy = 1/2 mass x speed2

I've been given the new value of kinetic energy. is the new equation:

v = square root (kinetic energy/ 1/2 mass)

Thanks

Well in that case, I've surprised myself - I must be learning something!,

Thanks,

A sligtly better way to express it is:

V= √(2KE/m)

Thanks, Factor 30.

I have already expressed it like that in my paper - I just wasn't sure how to put symbols like square root etc on this web page so I tried to make it simple!

Thanks

⅞ ∂ Ω⁹ e∑(n-1)∛∞
