I found a decent textbook to give my studying some discipline. Thanks both of you for the feedback, its been disciplining.

Thanks, its 'doin me' from here.

Sorry Zapper, please bear with a student & not be insulting. It would be better if you could advise me of some productive activities that could aid me in the grasping of these concepts; being that you are so much more enlightened.

What about marbles on slides/rails? I could test acceleration, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy & force.

Yes, but you didnt look at my feedback which verified at least a vague understanding. Kinetic energy is that of a body in motion, this body, given proper circumstances, can exert a force on another body, thus transfering some or all of its kinetic energy.

Also, if i may inquire for greater understanding, let's consider the physical phenomena of gases that have undergone combustion. Is it accurate to say, regarding the kinetic energy of these combusted gases, that in the formula k=mv²/2, that the variable m represents the mass of the gas(es)...

Left you a line. New to this, so i will excise myself now.

Ok, so can i say it is required that a force be exerted on a body on order for it to gain or increase in its kinetic energy?

Im studying fumdamental concepts & looking at the relationship between kinetic energy & force. The ewuations seem similar, f=ma & k=mv²/2. Any input on the definiton of these to fundamental concepts & there relationship would be helpful.
