Question

In a system with only a single force acting upon a body, what is the relationship between the change in kinetic energy and the work done by the force?

Answer 1

Answer: W.D = 1/2mv^2

Explanation:

If an external force or a single force is acting on a body. Just like the first law of thermodynamics, the force acting on the body will cause work done on the system.

Work done = force × distance

And the work done on the body will cause the molecules of the body to experience motion and thereby producing kinetic energy.

The work done will be converted to kinetic energy.

W.D = 1/2mv^2
