Kinetic Energy A moving object has energy because of its motion. This energy is called kinetic energy.
Answer Me!!! What must be done for potential energy to get changed into kinetic energy?
Work and Energy
Kinetic Energy The net work done in accelerating an object from rest to some speed is equal to the kinetic energy (KE) of the object.
Practice Problem 1 What is the kinetic energy of a 980 kg race car traveling at 90 m/s?
Practice Problem 2 A 60 kg runner has 1920 J of kinetic energy. At what speed is he running?
Practice Problem 3 If the speed of a car is doubled, what will happen to the kinetic energy of the car?
Practice Problem 4 A cart of mass m traveling at speed v has kinetic energy KE. If the mass of the cart is doubled and its speed is halved, the kinetic energy of the cart will be _______.
Practice Problem 5 Draw the graph that represents the relationship between Kinetic Energy (KE) and velocity of an object (v). KE v
Answer Me!!! A 2 kg cart is at rest on a level floor. Determine the kinetic energy of the cart after a force of 10 N is applied to the cart over a distance of 2 meters.
