Kinetic Energy: The energy associated with the motion of a mass The amount of capable work associated with the motion of a mass.Measured in Joules (J)KE is a scalar quantity.

Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy ConsiderationsConsiderations

A small mass moving at a high speed can have the same kinetic energy (do the same work) as a large mass that travels slowly.

You have two equivalent masses, mass A and B. Suppose you double the mass of A and double the speed of mass B. Which mass now has more KE?

Why? A car traveling at a certain speed stops after travel a

distance, d, after the brakes are applied. Suppose that the speed of the car is double, by what factor does the distance to stop change provided that the braking for is the same as the first situation.

Things for ThoughtThings for Thought A 2 g bumblebee moving at 2 m/s has a

kinetic energy of 4x10-3 J which means it is capable of doing 4x10-3 J of work

A comet with a mass of 7.9x1011 kg traveling at 25,000 m/s has a kinetic energy or capable of doing 2.5x1020J of work. The most powerful atomic bomb has an energy yield of 5x1015 J, thus this comet can do 5000 times more work.
