Definition of KE

For a single particle of mass m moving with a velocity v, the kinetic energy is defined as

[math]T \equiv \frac{1}{2} mv^2[/math]

Work Energy Theorem

Derivation

Consider the Kinetic Energy's temporal rate of change assuming that the mass of the particle is constant

[math]\frac{dT}{dt} = \frac{m}{2} \frac{d v^2}{dt}[/math]
