SOLUTION: Can someone help me with this problem? The Kinetic energy of a particle of mass m is found by taking one-half of the product of the mass (m) and the square of the velocity (v).

Question 52724: Can someone help me with this problem?
The Kinetic energy of a particle of mass m is found by taking one-half of the product of the mass (m) and the square of the velocity (v). I need to write an expression for the Kinetic energy of a particle.
I got an answer back saying: KE = (1/2) * mv^2
My question is after the 1/2 is that a multiply sign ?
Thanks,
Sher
