GCSE Physics Revision "Kinetic Energy"
Freesciencelessons・2 minutes read
Kinetic energy is the energy stored in moving objects, calculated using the equation: kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x speed squared (in Joules), with speed measured in meters per second. Objects like a car convert chemical energy to kinetic energy as they move. To calculate kinetic energy, use the formula: kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x speed squared. For example, a car with a mass of 700 kg moving at 20 m/s has a kinetic energy of 140,000 Joules, which can be converted to 140 kJ. Remember to practice similar questions to master kinetic energy calculations.
Insights
- Kinetic energy is determined by the mass and speed of an object in motion, with the formula indicating that it increases quadratically with speed.
- Conversion of chemical energy to kinetic energy is exemplified in objects like cars, showcasing the practical application of kinetic energy calculations in understanding and predicting motion.
