Kinetic Energy to Work Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Work from Kinetic Energy is:

\[ W = \Delta KE = KE_f - KE_i \]

Where:

\( W \) is the work from kinetic energy (Joules).
\( KE_i \) is the initial kinetic energy (J).
\( KE_f \) is the final kinetic energy (J).

What is Work from Kinetic Energy?

Work from kinetic energy refers to the amount of work done to change the kinetic energy of an object. It is calculated by subtracting the initial kinetic energy from the final kinetic energy. This concept is crucial in physics as it helps in understanding the energy transformations and the work-energy principle.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Initial Kinetic Energy (KEi): 200 J
Final Kinetic Energy (KEf): 500 J

Using the formula to calculate the Work:

\[ W = 500 - 200 = 300 \text{ J} \]

This means that the work done to change the kinetic energy is 300 Joules.
