Derive the expression for kinetic energy
Asked by jainnishka8 | 01 Dec, 2020, 18:17: PM
Kinetic energy of an object is energy associated with its motion.
From work-energy theorem , we know that workdone on the object equals change in kinetic energy.
Let F is the force acting on object to move the object by a distance d .
If m is mass of the object , which is initially at rest and a is the acceleration due to applied force ,
Then workdone W on the object = force × distance = mass × acceleration × distance
W = m × a × d ..................... (1)
if v is the final speed of object , then from equation of motion we get distance d as ,
d = (v2 - u2 ) / (2a ) ....................(2)
where u is initial speed which is zero because we have assumed that object is initially at rest and a is acceleration
hence, acceleration d = v2 / ( 2 a ) ................ (3)
By substituting d from eqn.(3) , we rewrite eqn.(1) as
W = m × a × [ v2 / (2a) ] = (1/2) m v2
In above equation RHS is kinetic energy of object.
