Projectile Energy Calculator:

Enter the values of Projectile Mass mp_(grains) & Projectile Velocity  Vp_(feet/min)  to determine the value of Projectile Energy Ep_{(foot-pounds)}.

Projectile Energy Formula:

The Projectile Energy Ep_{(foot-pounds)} in foot-pounds is Equal to the Projectile Mass mp_(grains) in grains and Multiply to the Projectile Velocity Vp_(feet/min) in feet per minutes and is squared and then Divided by the 450437.

The Equation of Projectile Energy can be written as,

Ep_{(foot-pounds)} = mp_(grains) * Vp²_(feet/min) / 450437

Here,

Ep_{(foot-pounds)} = Projectile Energy in foot-pounds

mp_(grains) = Projectile Mass in grains

Vp_(feet/min) = Projectile Velocity in feet per minutes

Projectile Energy Calculation:

1) Calculate the Projectile Energy and given for the Projectile Mass = 10grains, Projectile Velocity = 8ft/min.

Answer

Ep = mp * Vp² / 450437

Ep = 10 * 8² / 450437

Ep = 0.00142084242 foot-pounds.

2) Calculate the Projectile Velocity and given for the Projectile Mass = 10grains, Projectile Energy = 00142084242 foot-pounds.

Answer

Ep = mp * Vp² / 450437

0.00142084242 = 10 * Vp² / 450437

Vp = 8 feet/minutes.
