definition and derivation of kinetic energy
Answers
Explanation:
Derivation Of Kinetic Energy. Kinetic energy of a body is the energy that it possessed due to its motion. Kinetic energy can be defined as the work needed to accelerate an object of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. ... the kinetic energy formula derivation can be done using algebra and calculus.
when a moving object strikes a stationary object, the stationary object moves. Thus, the moving object has some energy, part or all of which it shares with the stationary object, thereby setting it in motion.
‘The energy which an object has because of its motion is called its kinetic energy’.
The work done by a force to displace a stationary object through a distance s is the kinetic energy gained by the object.
Kinetic energy = work done on the object
K.E. = F × s
