Why is kinetic energy a scalar?

I know that the formula for kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{2}$$mv^2$, and such that when we calculate it, we use the speed and not the velocity. … ignore the direction with the velocity (we ignore any $-$ signs), and also, I thought when you multiply a vector and a scalar, $v$ and $m$ respectively, the result is a vector, not a scalar (as kinetic energy

Work Done on a rotating body [closed]

Hello so I am having an issue with a question I am trying to solve. So far I have learnt that the work done by a force $F$ is equal to $F$ multiplied by $x$ where $x$ is the displacement in the direc …

Work done by gravity confusion

$m$, its GPE would equal $mgh$, now say we dropped it and it fell a distance of $h$, the work done on the object would be equal to $mgh$, as $W = Fx$, and $F = mg$ and $x = h$, so why is the objects energy
