Edexcel A Level Physics:復(fù)習(xí)筆記2.18 Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy
- Kinetic energy (usually written?Ek?and sometimes KE) is the energy an object has due to its?motion?(or velocity)
- The faster an object moves, the greater its kinetic energy
- When an object is falling, it is?gaining?kinetic energy since it is gaining speed
- This energy transferred from the gravitational potential energy it is losing
- An object will maintain this kinetic energy unless its speed changes
- Kinetic energy can be calculated using the following equation:
Kinetic energy (KE): The energy an object has when it is moving
Derivation of Kinetic Energy Equation
- A force can make an object accelerate; work is done by the force and energy is transferred to the object
- Using this concept of work done and an equation of motion, the extra work done due to an object's speed can be derived
- The derivation for this equation is shown below:
Worked Example
A body travelling with a speed of 12 m s–1?has kinetic energy 1650 J.
If the speed of the body is increased to 45 m s–1, estimate its new kinetic energy.
Exam Tip
When using the kinetic energy equation, note that only the speed is squared, not the mass or the ?.
If a question asks about the ‘loss of kinetic energy’, remember?not?to include a negative sign since energy is a?scalar?quantity.
