A-LevelPhysicsWork, energy and powerMay/June 2022Paper 1 Q181 Mark
A student attempts to derive the formula for kinetic energy Eκ. She begins by considering an object of mass m which is initially at rest. A constant force F applied to the object causes it to accelerate to final velocity v in displacement s. The kinetic energy gained by the object is equal to the work done on the object by the force F. Which equation would the student not need in order to derive the formula for Eκ?
AF = ma
BW = Fs
CEκ = ½Fs
Dv² = u² + 2as
