Kinetic Energy

(0)
Suitable for SQA National 5 or equivalent. This ‘lesson short’ outlines the equation for kinetic energy and shows the derivation (for interest only for most Physics courses at N5 or equivalent level). It also contains worked examples and questions to reinforce the use of the equation for kinetic energy. Acceleration is considered as a vector quantity so is taken as negative acceleration for an object slowing down. The lesson short is designed to be printed as a small booklet - front page for theory, back page for worked examples and middle pages for questions.
