'' The Energy of a body Due to its motion is known as Kinetic Energy''.
FORMULA
K.E. = 1/2 mv2
Kinetic energy depends upon the mass and velocity of body.If velocity is zero than K.E. of body will also be zero.Kinetic Energy is a scaler quantitiy.
Proof
Consider a body of mass "m" starts moving from rest. After a time interval "t" its velocity becomes V.
If initial velocity of the body is Vi = 0 ,final velocity Vf = V and the displacement of body is "d". Then
First of all we will find the acceleration of body. |
Using equation of motion |
2aS = Vf2 – Vi2 Putting the above mentioned values 2ad = V2 – 0 a = V2/2d |
Now force is given by F = ma Putting the value of accleration F = m(V2/2d) As we know that Work done = Fd |
Putting the value of F Work done = (mv2/2d)(d) Work done = mV2/2 OR Work done = ½ mV2 |
Since the work done is motion is called "Kinetic Energy" i.e. K.E. = Work done OR K.E. =1/2mV2. |
