Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the work-energy theorem?
  • Step 1: Understand what work means. Work is done when a force moves an object over a distance.
  • Step 2: Know what kinetic energy is. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because it is moving.
  • Step 3: Learn the work-energy theorem. It says that the total work done on an object will change its kinetic energy.
  • Step 4: Remember the formula. The work done (W) is equal to the change in kinetic energy (ΔKE). This can be written as W = ΔKE.
  • Step 5: Understand change in kinetic energy. Change in kinetic energy means the difference between the final kinetic energy and the initial kinetic energy.
