The net work \(W_{net}\) is the work done by the net force acting on an object. Work done on an object transfers energy to the object. The translational kinetic energy of an object of mass \(m\) moving at speed \(v\) is \(KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\).

Work-Energy Theorem argues the net work done on a particle equals the change in the particle’s kinetic energy. According to this theorem, when an object slows down, its final kinetic energy is …
Let us start by considering the total, or net, work done on a system. Net work is defined to be the sum of work on an object. The net work can be written in terms of the net force on an object. F net F net. In equation form, this is W net = F net d cos θ W net = F net d cos θ where θ θ is the angle between the force vector and the ...
16 sie 2021 · The work-energy theorem states that the net work \(W_{net} \) on a system changes its kinetic energy, \(W_{net} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_0^2\).
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
Notice the Work-KE theorem holds even when friction is involved. Let’s check that the Work-KE Theorem works in a few other special cases: Example: A book of mass m is dropped from rest and it falls a distance h. The net force is F grav = mg. The work done by the net force is W net = +mg | y| = mgh. To compute the change in
According to this theorem, when an object slows down, its final kinetic energy is less than its initial kinetic energy, the change in its kinetic energy is negative, and so is the net work done on it. If an object speeds up, the net work done on it is positive. When calculating the net work, you must include all the forces that act on an object.
