mass of steel I used for calculation was http://steelmedia.com/steel-balls-data.htm

1.046 kg per 1000 balls. so 1.046 g where m is represented as a decimal of 1 kg.

=0.5*(0.001046*(45.74*45.74))

This leaves us with 1.09 J

edit:

this formula calculates the KE for a 1/4 inch steel ball traveling at 150 fps.
