Calculating Kinetic Energy

A marble has a mass of 0.05 kg. You shoot it out of your hand and send it moving at a speed of 2 m/s. How much kinetic energy does the marble have?

Plug your information into the formula.
Square the quantity for speed.
Find one half of the mass.
Multiply these two numbers together.
Write the resulting answer in joules (J).

k e = \frac{​ 1 ​ ​}{​ 2 ​} m v^{​ 2 ​ ​}

k e = \frac{​ 1 ​ ​}{​ 2 ​} 0.05 k g (2 \frac{​ m ​ ​}{​ s ​})^{​ 2 ​ ​}

Slide 17 - Slide

A 50-kg girl is playing soccer. She runs toward the ball at a speed of 7 m/s. How much kinetic energy does she have as she runs? Calculate the answer to this problem using the equation KE = ½mv2.

Slide 18 - Open question

A 50-kg girl is playing soccer. She runs toward the ball at a speed of 7 m/s. How much kinetic energy does she have as she runs? Calculate the answer to this problem using the equation KE = ½mv2.

[4] KE = ½ (50 kg) (7 m/s)2

KE = (25 kg) (49 m/s)

KE = 1,225 J

The girl has 1,225 J of kinetic energy as she runs toward the soccer ball.

Why Is Kinetic Energy Important?

Work changes the energy of an object. So if an object, such as a truck, has a lot of kinetic energy, it takes a lot of work to stop it. Imagine that there are two trucks that are the same mass (2,000 kg) and have the same braking force. Truck A is traveling 20 m/s, and Truck B is traveling 40 m/s. How do you think their kinetic energies will compare?

Example

Opening the trap winds the coil of the mousetrap’s spring tighter. The spring has to be held in place in this unnatural shape by a small metal bar. At this point, the spring has elastic potential energy. When the trap snaps shut, the spring loses elastic potential energy as it returns to its normal shape.

Gravitational Potential Energy

This skateboarder entering the half-pipe also has gravitational potential energy. As soon as she shifts her body, gravity will act on her, and she will travel down toward the base of the half-pipe.

Slide 33 - Mind map

Gravitational Potential Energy Equation

The formula for weight that you used in previous lessons is (w = mg), or weight = mass (kg) x acceleration due to gravity (m/s2). By substituting mg for w in the original formula
