The Work–Energy Theorem. In physics, the term work has a very specific definition. Work is application of force, f f, to move an object over a distance, d, in the direction that the force is applied. Work, W, is described by the equation. W = fd. W = f d.

The work–energy principle states that an increase in the kinetic energy of a rigid body is caused by an equal amount of positive work done on the body by the resultant force acting on that body. Conversely, a decrease in kinetic energy is caused by an equal amount of negative work done by the resultant force.
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work. Formula: The energy stored in an object due to its position and height is known as potential energy and is given by the formula: P.E. = mgh: Unit : The SI unit of energy is Joules (J). Power: Definition: Power is defined as the rate at which work is done. Formula: The formula for power is. P = W/t: Unit
The principle of work and kinetic energy (also known as the work-energy theorem) states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle.
Explain work as a transfer of energy and net work as the work done by the net force. Explain and apply the work-energy theorem.
In physics, work represents a type of energy. Work is done when a force acts on something that undergoes a displacement from one position to another. Forces can vary as a function of position, and displacements can be along various paths between two points.
In physics, the work done by a force is related to the energy transferred to an object. To derive the formula for work done, we’ll start with the basic definition and then connect it to the change in kinetic energy of the object.
