 This might seem obvious to you, but you should realize that the// total kinetic energy of any multi-particle system is the sum of all the individual kinetic energies of the particles or objects that make up the system//.// __The only caveat is that the velocity of all the constituent particles must be measured in the [[183_notes:relative_motion#relative_motion|same frame of reference]].__// Otherwise, we would get different speeds for each particle depending on its relative motion in the different frames. This might seem obvious to you, but you should realize that the// total kinetic energy of any multi-particle system is the sum of all the individual kinetic energies of the particles or objects that make up the system//.// __The only caveat is that the velocity of all the constituent particles must be measured in the [[183_notes:relative_motion#relative_motion|same frame of reference]].__// Otherwise, we would get different speeds for each particle depending on its relative motion in the different frames.
