Transitional kinetic energy is the spacifice statement that goverens the motion of bodys within a spacific gravitatioan field. The transistional kinetic energy equation is stated as:

Tke = mv^2/2gc

The Unit of measure for Transitional kinetic energy is foot-pound force.

Origin

The origine of the transitional kinetic energy equation is derived from Newton's Second Axiom: F=ma.

Application

The transistional kinetic energy equation is used to make "kinetic energy" tables for small arms projectiles. The equation can also be used to determine the "free recoil" of a fire arm.
