NT6A-WWT1: OBJECT CHANGING VELOCITY-WORK
A 2-kg object accelerates as a net force acts on it. During the 5 seconds this force acts, the object changes
its velocity from 3 m/s east to 7 m/s west.
3 m/s
A student states:
"The change in kinetic energy of this object during these 5 seconds was 40 J, and thus the work done
on this object by the net force during this period was also 40 J."

NT6A-CCT2: BICYCLIST ON A STRAIGHT ROAD-WORK
A bicyclist initially travels at a steady 8 m/s for 100 seconds on a straight level road, and then takes
40 seconds to slow to 5 m/s. Three students discussing this situation make the following contentions
about the bicycle's kinetic energy:

something to slow down."

"I disagree. The speed of the bike decreased, so there is a change in kinetic energy.
That means work was done on the bike.

"I think Axel is right that no work was done, but I don't agree with his reason. There
is no work being done here because there are no external forces being exerted."
