fiesta.properties.calc_total_kinetic_energy(mass, vel, unit=Unit('erg'))[source]#

Calculates kinetic energy using \(E_\mathrm{kin} = \sum_{i} \frac{1}{2}m_i v_i^2\).

Parameters:

mass (Quantity) – Mass \(m\).
vel (Quantity) – Velocity \(v\).
unit (Unit, optional) – Unit to output the result in. Default value is u.erg.

Returns:

Ekin (Quantity) – Kinetic energy \(E_\mathrm{kin}\).
