Formula
W = ฮKE = ยฝmvโยฒ - ยฝmvโยฒ
The net work done on an object equals its change in kinetic energy.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Accelerating object
Problem:10 kg, vโ=5 m/s, vโ=15 m/s
Solution:W=ยฝ(10)(225-25)=1000 J
Result:1000 J
Frequently Asked Questions
How does energy conservation work in physics?
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. In a closed system, total energy remains constant. For example, a falling object converts potential energy (mgh) to kinetic energy (0.5mv^2). At any point, KE + PE = total mechanical energy.
