Lesson: Kinetic Energy Physics • First Year of Secondary School

In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the kinetic energy of objects of different masses, moving at different velocities.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

use the formula KE = in all combinations,
recognize that all moving objects have kinetic energy,
recognize that KE is proportional to mass but not to velocity, such that changes in velocity are more significant than changes in mass in terms of the resulting change in kinetic energy.
