Kinetic Energy

Here is our graph of Kinetic Energy versus time here using our values of velocity in the x and y direction I used vector addition to find the resulting velocity which I then squared. After obtaining v² I multiplied it by Cam’s mass and then divided it by two. These steps gave me the kinetic energy using 1/2mv² at each time. You can see that the kinetic energy peaks between .5 and 1 seconds and between 1.5 and 2 seconds. Which means these are points where the velocity is the highest.
