Question

derive the equation for kinetic energy of an object and define kinetic energy

Answer 1

Suppose a Force ‘F’ acting on a body of mass ‘m’ in state of rest changes its velocity to ‘v’ and body covers ‘s’ distance in the direction of force.

Then, the work done by the force is given by

W = F . S

= ma . S …………(1) [ F = ma ]

Now, using equation of motion, we have

v2 = u2 + 2aS

or, v2 = 0 + 2aS

as = v2/2

So, by equation (1) , we get

W = m .v2/2

so , by definition of kinetic energy of the body,

K.E. = W = 1/2 mv2
