Derive the formula for the kinetic energy of an object of mass 'm', moving with velocity V
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Kinetic Energy:
The energy possessed by an object due to its motion is called as kinetic energy.
Derivation:
Let us consider an object of mass "m" which is at rest on smooth horizontal plane.
Let a Force ,F acts on the object and let the object from rest moves from point A to point B and covers a displacement S.
The Work done by Force on the object is :
Workdone = Force x displacement.
W=F×S ____(1).
From third equation of motion;

By Newtons second law of motion:

From equation 1 and 2

As we have assumed object is at rest, U=0

The Work Done appears as kinetic energy of the body.
