🧠 Memory Aid: The KE Equation
Remember E_k = ½mv² with this sequence: "Half My Velocity Squared"
Half = the ½ | My = m (mass) | Velocity = v | Squared = the ² superscript
For the v² effect, think of road safety: "Double the speed, four times the danger." This locks in the squared relationship without even needing the formula.
