ANYONE WANT AN
A
What is the mass of an elephant that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and
moves with a velocity of 5 ms
First one to spot the correct equation gets
25 Vivos
But in this equation there are more than 3 factors so we canrsquot use the equation triangle
Donrsquot PANIC
BOB THE BUILDER
ldquoWe can FIX IThelliphellipbut yoursquoll need to watch
carefullyrdquo
Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 4
What is the mass of an elephant that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and
moves with a velocity of 5 ms
MASS = 2000 kg

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 4
What is the mass of an elephant that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and
moves with a velocity of 5 ms
MASS = 2000 kg

What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

A velocity time graph can be used to show the different motions of an object An object is accelerating when there is a line which looks like The steeper the line the greater the acceleration In this case the resultant force acting on the object must be positive as there are more forward forces than backward forces
A horizontal line on the graph means that the object is moving at a constant velocity In this case the resultant force must be zero as the forward forces equal the backward forces
Deceleration is shown on a graph with a line that looks like When a car decelerates the forward forces are less than the backward forces and therefore the resultant force is negative

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a

Write down the original kinetic energy equation
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 1
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 4
What is the mass of an elephant that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and
moves with a velocity of 5 ms
MASS = 2000 kg

WEIGHT = 96N
The question wants you to work out the mass so you must take everything else over to the other side
KE = frac12 x MASS X VELOCITY2
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 2
Whatever the factors did on one side they must do the opposite on the other So frac12 and velocity are multiplied by mass on one side so must be divided on the other side
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 3
Now use your rearranged equation to work out the question
KE divide ( frac12 x VELOCITY2) = MASS
25000 divide ( frac12 x 52) = MASS
What is the mass of an elephant
that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and moves with a
velocity of 5 ms
STEP 4
What is the mass of an elephant that has a kinetic energy of 25000J and
moves with a velocity of 5 ms
MASS = 2000 kg

He knows that his mass is 60kg on Earth and now he wants to know the
answers to these questions
PLEASE HELP JOE
1 How much did Grandpa Joe weigh on Earth (tip gravity = 10Nkg)
2 How much did Grandpa Joe weigh on the Moon (tip gravity = 16Nkg)
3 What was Grandpa Joersquos mass on the Moon
SELF-ASSESS
MASS = 60Kg
WEIGHT = 600N
MASS = 60Kg
WEIGHT = 96N
Scenario 1
Friction 8N
Drag 2N
Thrust 10N
So resultant force = ON
Car will stay moving at a constant speed
Scenario 2
Friction 6N
Drag 2N
Thrust 10N
So resultant force = 2N forwards
Car will accelerate
Scenario 3
Friction 11N
Drag 4N
Thrust 10N
So resultant force = 5N backwards Car will
decelerate
If the forward forces are equal to the backward forces then they are _____________ and the resultant force = _____N In this case the object will continue doing as it was - this could be staying still or to continue moving at a ___________ speedIf forces are ________ then the object changes speed and this is affected by the _____________ force If there is more force ________ the resultant force will be ___________ and the object accelerates If there is more force backwards the resultant force is ___________ and then the object will ________________
If the forward forces are equal to the backward forces then they are balanced and the resultant force = 0N In this case the object will continue doing as it was - this could be staying still or to continue moving at a constant speedIf forces are unbalanced then the object changes speed and this is affected by the resultant force If there is more force forwards the resultant force will be positive and the object accelerates If there is more force backwards the resultant force is negative and then the object will decelerate

If the forward forces are equal to the backward forces then they are balanced and the resultant force = 0N In this case the object will continue doing as it was - this could be staying still or to continue moving at a constant speedIf forces are unbalanced then the object changes speed and this is affected by the resultant force If there is more force forwards the resultant force will be positive and the object accelerates If there is more force backwards the resultant force is negative and then the object will decelerate

Lesson objectivesHave we hit any yet
ALL Will KNOW the differences between mass and weight and their units (grade C)
MOST Will KNOW the equation to work out an objectrsquos weight and will BE ABLE to apply to calculations (grade B)
SOME Will BE ABLE to calculate the mass and gravitational field strength using the rearranged weight equation (grade A)
