Calculate Kinetic Energy

The general formula for Kinetic Energy is

KE = ½ x Mass x Velocity²

If we calculate through all the conversion factors when using the units of
measure commonly used in the field of sporting ballistics, the formula becomes:

where V is the velocity of the bullet in feet per second,
and W_B is the weight of the bullet in grains.
