Question

Derive the expeession for kinetc energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

Suppose a body of mass m is moving with velocity v. It is brought to rest by applying a retarding force F. Suppose it traverses a distance s before coming to rest. Kinetic energy of body, KE = Work done by retarding force to stop it.Mar

Answer 2

Consider of a body of mass m moving with velocity v the body stops after moving through some distance S due to some opposing force such as force of friction acting on it. The body posses kinetic energy and is capable to do work against opposing force F until all its kinetic energy is used up

Derivation:

K.E. of the body.   = Work done by it due to motion

                       K.E.= FS

                         Vi = V

                         Vf = 0

As                       F = ma

∴                         a = -F/m (retardation)

           Since motion is opposed, hence, a is negative.

Using 3rd equation of motion:

                    2 a S = Vf² - Vi²

              2 (-F/m) S= (0)² - (Vi)²

                         F S= 1/2 m v²

As K.E, is equal to FS we get

                         K.E.=1/2 m v²
