15. Kinetic Energy: Learning Goals The student will be able to describe the kinetic energy of an object (the energy of motion) in qualitative and quantitative terms.

16. Kinetic Energy SPH4C

17. F = ma When a force is applied to accelerate an object from speed v 1 to speed v 2, the work done on the object can be written as:

18. ... add in some kinematics: Since and,

19. ... add in some kinematics: Since and,

20. ... add in some kinematics: Since and,

21. Kinetic Energy Since this work is done to increase the speed of the object, the energy that is increased is the object's kinetic energy E k :

22. Kinetic Energy Since this work is done to increase the speed of the object, the energy that is increased is the object's kinetic energy E k : Kinetic energy is therefore:

23. Example 1 A car of mass 1500 kg is travelling at a speed of 24 m/s. Calculate the kinetic energy of the car.
