Answer» Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its motion.K.E=1/2 mV² Derivation:Let us consider an object of m which is at rest lying on a table.Let A force F acts on the object which moves the object through a distance S. The workdone=FxS W=Fnet XS-------(1) Let the workdone on the object causes a change in its velocity from u to V and let a be the acceleration. From Third equation of motion:V²-u²=2ass=V²-u²/2a----------(2) By Newton's Second law:F=ma------(3)From equation (1), (2) and (3) W=ma*(V²-u²/2a)\=(1/2)m(V²-u²) As we assumed object at rest, u=0W=(1/2)mV²we know that the kinetic energy of a body moving with certain velocity is equal to workdone on the object to acquire that velocity from rest.∴K.E=1/2 mV² |
