Concept explainers
The way in which work and energy change are related.
Answer to Problem 31A
The work done is equal to the energy change.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Work energy theorem says that the work done by the net force on an object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object,
As can be seen from above theorem, work done on any object is equal to the change in energy of the considered object.
Conclusion:
Thus, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy.
