In another form...

1 J = 1 N * m = [(kg * m)/(s^2)] * m = kg * [m/s]^2

K = n [ mass * speed^2]

So from the first equation, N is being replace with lb, and m is being replace by ft…

The energy of the object in motion is converted…
in effect, to heat on impact… or to a hell of shock wave.
So velocity (speed) becomes meaningless?
