Question

What is relation between velocity and kinetic energy and why is so

Open in App
Solution

It is derived
From equations of motion, the relation connecting the initial velocity (u) and final velocity (v) of an object moving with a uniform acceleration a, and the displacement, s is
But from Newton’s second law of motion F = m a.
work done by the force, F is written as the following:

( since Work done = Force*displacement and v squared minus u squared equals 2 a s space S o space s equals fraction numerator v squared minus u squared over denominator 2 a end fraction)
If the object is starting from its stationary position, that is, u = 0, then

From work and energy theorem, work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object.
w = (1/2) mv 2
If u = 0, the work done will be,
Thus the kinetic energy possessed by an object of mass, m and moving with a uniform velocity, v is
K.E = (1/2) mv 2
