Correct answer
change
Why this answer is correct
The correct answer is change.
Key Points
- The work-energy theorem
- It also known as the principle of work and kinetic energy states that the total work done by the sum of all the forces acting on a particle is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of that particle. Hence, Option 4 is correct.
- This explanation can be extended to rigid bodies by describing the work of rotational kinetic energy and torque.
- The work ‘W’ done by the net force on a particle is equal to the change in the particle’s kinetic energy (KE).
- Mathematically Work energy theorem can be written as
- W = ΔKE
- Where ΔKE = change in kinetic energy and W = work done
Important Points
- Kinetic energy:
- It is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion or movement.
- In simple words, it is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles.
