KE = 0.5*m*v^2, where m is mass and v is velocity. However, you can only use this formula when velocity is much smaller than the speed of light. If velocity is actually a significant fraction of the speed of light, there are special formulae for relativistic kinetic energy.

KE = 1/2 mv^2
Do you have a textbook? Or a teacher?

0.5*m*v^2
m=mass of the moving body
v=it's velocity

(1/2)*m*(v^2)
m is mass
V is velocity
