Relationship between work and kinetic energy. Work is defined as the result of a force moving an object a distance and is stated by the equation W=Fd. But the result of the force being applied on the object also means that the object is moving with some given velocity, according to the equation for force as F=ma. From those two equations, it can be shown that work is equivalent to kinetic energy
Kinetic Energy =1/2mv2
for an idealised particle with no internal structure, elasticity, temperature, etc. and in the absence of friction, external forces, electromagnetism, etc.
WORK DONE ON PATICLE = KINETIC ENERGY GAINED
the Work-Energy Theorem states the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy.
Another name for heat energy is Thermal energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its mass and its velocity. Kinetic energy is calculated with the equation: Ek = ½ mv² Since kinetic energy is proportional to mass and velocity, any object moving very slowly has a small amount of kinetic energy. Also, any very small object normally has a small amount of kinetic energy. For example, a soccer ball rolling down a hill might have a relatively small amount of kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is the amount of energy in an object due to its motion. It is defined as the amount of work that was required to accelerate the object from rest to its current velocity. In classical Newtonian physics, kinetic energy is calcualted in the following equation.Ek=1/2mv2Where:Ek is the kinetic energy of a body;m is the mass of the body; andv is the velocity of the body.Note that kinetic energy is always relative to the observer's frame of reference. For example, a girl holding a ball still would tell you the ball has no kinetic energy, because it is not moving - it has a velocity of zero, and according to the above equation, the kinetic energy must also be zero. Even if she were in a moving car holding the ball, she would still tell you (correctly) that the ball has no kinetic energy, because from her perspective, the ball is not moving. But from a bystander's perspective on the sidewalk, the ball (and the girl, the car, etc.) would indeed have kinetic energy, because, from the bystander's frame of reference, the ball is moving.
Heat is just the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in... whatever you are measuring. Kinetic energy is s form of energy, so the fact that the molecules have kinetic energy proves heat is energy. Also heat powered engines do work by converting heat into kinetic energy. ============================ Thanks for that. But how do you prove that heat is a form of energy ? ============================
Work is the quantity of energy being transfered (i.e. potential to kinetic). It is due to work that energy is transfered between potential and kinetic and vice versa. This is an attribute of the first law of thermodynamics. Energy is also the ability to do work
The relationship between kinetic energy of molecules and their physical state is simple. The higher the kinetic energy the faster the molecules move. The fastest moving molecules are gaseous and the slowest moving molecules are solids.
Kinetic energy is energy of matter. The kinetic is doing work. Tempature is measured of average energy of motion, particles of matter. The physical is pretty much doing the same thing as the kinetic. They both are doing work.
Kinetic energy is one type of energy; work is the transfer of certain types of energy.
Thermodynamics is the study of the relationship between thermal energy and heat and work.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion; a thrown object has kinetic energy.
kinetic is not a potential energy because kinetic energy is made of movement but potential energies are stored but can be used
Potential energy and Kinetic energy. Potential energy comes in forms that are stored, including - Chemical, Gravitational, Mechanical and Nuclear. Kinetic energy forms are doing work - Like electrical, heat, light, motion and sound. Difference between them both are, Potential energy can be stored and Kinetic energy is already doing work and can't be stored. Hope this helps =)
Energy is the capacity to do work, and kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion.
Work is usually used for transfer of energy. If you transfer energy to an object, you "do work" on the object.Heat is simply one type of energy.Further AnswerWork (W) describes changing one form of energy into another. Heat (Q) describes energy in transit from a warmer body to a cooler body. So change in energy is the difference between work and heat.change of energy = W - Q
Any kind of movement is kinetic energy.
The forms of energy that do work is kinetic energy.
