*** WHAT'S COVERED ***
1. What Kinetic Energy is
* The definition of kinetic energy as the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
2. Factors that Affect Kinetic Energy
* How an object's mass influences its kinetic energy.
* How an object's speed influences its kinetic energy.
3. How to Calculate Kinetic Energy
* The equation for kinetic energy: Ek = ½mv².
* Explanation of each variable (mass, velocity) and their standard units (kg, m/s).
* Worked examples showing how to convert units (tonnes to kg, grams to kg) before calculating.
* A comparison of kinetic energy between two objects with different masses and speeds.
