Kinetic Energy: A force (F) acts on a mass (m) for (t-seconds), as shown in [Fig 2.1]. Find the
kinetic energy of the mass.
Let the displacement of the body, during (t-seconds) be ‘d’. therefore, the work done by the force is
given by: work done = Force ∗ average displacement
Average displacement is considered, as the body is accelerating uniformly, and travels different
displacements in different intervals of time. Mathematically, we have:
s
Work done = F ∗ s avg = ma ∗ - - - - (2.11)
2
Let us assume that the velocity of the body is ‘v’, after an interval of time ‘t’. Therefore, equation
(2.11) can be rewritten as:
velocity mv (v + 0) 1
2
Work done = ma ∗ s avg = m ∗ velocity avg ∗ time = ∗ t = mv
time t 2 2
