Expression for Kinetic Energy
Expression for Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy: The energy of an object because of its motion is called its kinetic energy. Its SI unit is Joule (J). A flying bird, a running man, a moving train and a swinging bat are some examples of bodies with kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of a body moving with certain velocity is equal to the work done on it to make it acquire that velocity. Kinetic energy of an object increases with its speed.
· Due to kinetic energy, a bullet fired from a gun can pierce a target.
· A moving hammer, drives a nail into a wooden block. Due to its motion, it has kinetic energy or ability to do work.
The kinetic energy of a body of mass m moving with a velocity v is
Sometimes, a large rock from space hits the earth’s surface at a very high speed. Its huge kinetic energy creates a large crater on the earth’s surface. One such crater was formed thousands of years ago at Lonar in Maharashtra. The diameter of this crater is 1.8 km.
Expression for Kinetic Energy: Suppose a body of mass “m” moving with a uniform velocity “u”. Force “F” starts acting on it in the horizontal direction and displaces it through a distance of “s” and it attains a velocity “v”. Then, work done to increases its velocity from “u” to “v”.
According to equation of motion:
So, as the object starts from rest and distance travelled is x
(1)
According to the definition of Force
F = ma
Or
Putting the value of a in the Equation (1), we get
But Fx is the work done by the force on the body. It should be equal to the increase in the kinetic energy of the body as it moves from A to B. Also, since the kinetic energy at A was zero, the increase in kinetic energy should be equal to the kinetic energy at B. So, we conclude the following:
The kinetic energy of a body of mass m moving with a speed v is
Example:Find the kinetic energy of a ball of mass 200 g moving at a speed of 20 cm/s.
Solution The kinetic energy is
Given m= 200g = 0.2 Kg
v = 20 cm/s = 0.2m/s
Q. If a stone of mass 3 kg be thrown with a kinetic energy of 37.5 J, find its velocity.
Solution: Here, mass m = 3 kg, K.E. = 37.5 J, velosity of stone, v = ?

10thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thThe experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.

9thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thWe started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
Manya
8thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
