What is the formula for specific kinetic energy?

Posted in Orbital Mechanics | Email This Post Email This Post |

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
