In order to solve for v in the given equation, follow these steps:
1. Divide both sides of the equation by "m"
[tex]\begin{gathered} E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\ \frac{E}{m}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{mv^2}{m} \\ \frac{E}{m}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{m}v^2 \\ \frac{E}{m}=\frac{1}{2}v^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
2. Multiply both sides by 2
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{E}{m}\times2=\frac{1}{2}v^2\times2 \\ 2\frac{E}{m}=\frac{2}{2}v^2 \\ 2\frac{E}{m}=v^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
3. in order to get rid of the exponent of v, take the square root on both sides
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sqrt{2\frac{E}{m}}=\sqrt{v^2} \\ \sqrt[]{2\frac{E}{m}}=v \\ v=\sqrt[]{2\frac{E}{m}} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Then, v = √(2E/m)
