derive equation kinetic energy
Answers
Answer:
Let the velocity of an object of mass 'm' changes from 'u' to 'v' where a constant force 'f' is acts on it .
Also let 'a' be the acceleration produced and 's' be the distance covered.
we know ,
v2=u2+2as
=v2-u2=2as
s=v2-u2/2as .....eq1
work done by the force F on the object is given by:
w=f×s
=ma×s
=ma(v2-u2/2a). [using 1].
=1/2 m(v2-u2)
If the object starts from rest ,then u=0
therefore w=1/2mv2.
This works done is converted to the kinetic energy of the object .
therefore EK=1/2mv2.
The energy produced by a body due to the virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy.
Let,
m=mass of a body at rest
F=force applied on the body
s=displacement in the direction of force
v=final velocity of the body
As, v²=u²+2as
v²=0²+2as
v²=2as
s=v²/2a
Then,
Work=fs
W=F×S
W=ma×v²/2a
W= mv²/
K = 1/2mv²
