Start from the definition of work: W = FΔx
Now use the equation of motion to substitute in an expression for Δx:
v2 = u2 + 2aΔx so:
Δx = (v2 - u2) / 2a and hence,:
W = FΔx = F(v2 - u2) / 2a
Now, Newton's second law tells us that a = F/m, so let's make this substitution into the work expression:
W = F(v2 - u2) / 2(F/m) = m(v2 - u2) / 2 = mv2/2 - mu2/ 2
which is the change in kinetic energy as the velocity changes from u to v.
QED (as they say).
