Expert Answer:
The kinetic energy of a body moving with a certain velocity is equal to the work done on it to make it acquire that velocity.
Or
The work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of an object.
Work done = Kinetic enegy = 1/2 mv2
The kinetic energy of a body moving with a certain velocity is equal to the work done on it to make it acquire that velocity.
