Objective:- What is K.E- The equation for K.E- How is speed and mass related to K.E- An Example
Now that we have a brief understanding of Potential Energy, let us now discuss K.E!
Speed and mass are two components that Kinetic Energy depends on. The more mass an object has the more K.E (increases) and the more speed the more K.E (increases by twice the amount)
Speed and mass are two components that Kinetic Energy depends on. The more mass an object has the more K.E (increases) and the more speed the more K.E (increases by twice the amount)The equation for K.E:K.E. = 1/2 m v
K.E is the energy due to motion. Kinetic Energy is made up from two main components...
The equation for K.E:K.E. = 1/2 m v2
Speed= 150 gMass= 150 km/hThis ball has more K.E because it has more speed and mass!
Here is an example for K.E to improve your understanding, as you can see their are to ball rolling with different speeds and mass, which one has the most K.E?
Speed= 46 gMass= 78 km/hThis ball has less K.E because it has less speed and mass then the other ball.
