Question

Explain potential and Kinetic energy with
derivation of formulae​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kinetic energy - The energy possessed by virtue of its motion is said to be kinetic energy. K E = 1/2mv2.

Derivation :

We know that, W = f x s. but f = ma.

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by the body by virtue of its position or configuration.

Consider a body of mass m at a height 'h' from the ground.

The amount of work done to raise this body

to this height h against the force of gravity: W = F xhwhere F is the force of gravity

W = mgh
