    The document defines kinetic energy as the energy due to motion and provides the equation Ek = 1/2mv to calculate kinetic energy. It then works through examples of calculating the kinetic energy of a baseball bat, car, soccer ball, and running back using their respective masses and velocities. The kinetic energy is measured in Joules.

    KINETIC ENERGY WORKSHEET

    1. Kinetic energy can be defined as....

    The energy due to motion

    2. The equation to be used to calculate kinetic energy ( Ek) is...

    Ek = ½ mv

    3. The SI unit in which Ek is often measured is the ... Joule (J).

    4. Rodger Maris swung a bat which had a mass of 2 Kg at a velocity of 45 m/s. How
    many joules of kinetic energy could he give to a ball?
    Ek = ½ mv

    = ½ (2)(45)
    = 45 J

    5. Calculate the Ek of a car which has a mass of 1000 kg and is moving at the rate of 20
    m/s.

    Ek = ½ mv
    = ½ (1000) (20)
    = 10,000 J

    6. What is the Ek of a soccer ball which has a mass of 0.8 kg and is kicked at a
    velocity of 10 m/s?

    Ek = ½ mv
    = ½ (0.8)(10)
    =4J

    7. Calculate the Ek of a running back that has a mass of 80 kg and is running at a velocity
    of 8 m/s.

    Ek = ½ mv
    = ½ (80) (8)
    = 320 J
