When to use ck vs. k?

This short video can help...I don't love that they use the word "weak" when describing a short vowel sound, but for the purpose of the story about "protection", I guess it can be a visual. So please keep in mind, this video example refers to a "short" vowel as a weak vowel needing protection.

But we hear /k/ with a letter c sometimes...so when do we use c or k or ck?
