What is the formula for specific kinetic energy?
The specific energy (energy per unit mass) of a space vehicle is composed of two components, the specific potential energy and the specific kinetic energy.
The formula for specific kinetic energyis given as,
ϵk = ½ ×velocity
ϵk = v2 / 2
ϵk = specific kinetic energy
v = velocity
