Is kinetic energy E = m * v^2 or E = 1/2 * m * v^2?

I’ve finished my mathematical derivation for the kinetic energy correction—but apparently, there isn't a single decent American journal for applying mathematical analysis to physics. Because of that, I'm stuck hunting for an English translator just so I can submit my work abroad for peer review.

My mathematical derivations lead to E = m * ( v ^ 2 ) exactly how Gottfried Leibniz framed it over a century ago,
whereas modern science accepts E = m * ( v ^ 2 ) / 2 as derived by Daniel Bernoulli

I wrote about this here:

Even the physicists and mathematicians—the ones who are absolutely certain about

E = m * ( v ^ 2 ) / 2

didn't exactly "vote" for that specific expression

It’s pretty ridiculous, really—especially since they acted so incredibly confident that I had messed up my three different derivations of the same solution

E = m * ( v ^ 2 )

Out of three different derivations, I’ve uploaded one very straightforward version to my Silvio Sponza / X profile—just a quick demonstration of a small slice of my work so there's no more confusion regarding kinetic energy.

Good grief, Professor Sponza, we’re reading your lecture with all due respect, but honestly, we can't make heads or tails of any of it. 🐔I suspect your expertise is lightyears beyond the mathematical grasp of the common folk hanging out on Charter🐔

I'm no professor—just an amateur who passed Calculus I and has spent the last 30 years obsessing over numerical mathematics.

I've been banned from Science and Alternative because the moderators there are absolutely convinced I don't understand math—even though I've already cleared the advanced coursework.
I started this thread specifically so professors could drop in, scroll through, and actually weigh in with their own takes—if they bother.

Look, it isn't even science over there—so they can't exactly ban me from posting my mathematical derivations just because the science moderator decided to call me out.
"Mathematical crackpot, an astrologer in leggings, an exile from Charter." And yet, I was actually writing the math that I passed.

For those who actually understand basic math


E = F * s = m * a * s = m * ( v / t ) * s = m * ( s / ( t ^ 2 ) ) * s = m * ( s ^ 2 ) / ( t ^ 2 ) = m * ( v ^ 2 )
