Derrive the formula for the kinetic energy of and object of Mass m, moving with velocity v.
Answers
Answer:
Let the workdone on the object causes a change in its velocity from u to V and let a be the acceleration. we 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.
Explanation:
Consider a body of mass "m" moving with an initial velocity "u".
A constant force "F" acts on it and the velocity changes to "v".
Let "s" be the distance covered and "a" be the constant acceleration
We know that
v² - u² = 2as
s = \frac{v^{2} - u ^{2} }{2a}

We know that ,
Work done = Force(F) × displacement (s)
F = ma
W = ma ×\frac{v^{2} - u ^{2} }{2a}

["a" gets cancelled ]
W = m ×\frac{v^{2} - u ^{2} }{2}

When , initial velocity , u = 0
W = \frac{1 }{2}
