Review: Work and Energy
-energy of motion
-comes from the
Greek word
“kinetikos” which
means moving
KINETIC ENERGY
Where ,
-expressed
mathematically as KE = Kinetic Energy
m= mass
1 2 v= velocity/speed
KE= mv
2
KINETIC ENERGY
-expressed
mathematically as
Unit:
1 2 Joule (J)
KE= mv
2
KINETIC ENERGY Example
-expressed
A 100 kg cart has
mathematically as a velocity of 9
m/s. What is the
1 2
KE= mv energy? cart’s kinetic
2
KINETIC ENERGY Given:
-expressed
KE= ?
mathematically as m= 100 kg
1 2 v= 9m/s
KE= mv
2 Substitute
Given:
KINETIC ENERGY 1 2
KE= mv
2
-expressed = (1/2)(100 kg)(9 m/s)2
mathematically as =(1/2)(100 kg)(81
m2/s2
1 2 =(1/2)(8100
KE= mv kg.m2/s2)
2 =4,050 J
