Define work - energy theorem....

Define work - energy theorem.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) If the work done by the force on the body is positive then its kinetic energy increases.
(ii) If the work done by the force on the body is negative then its kinetic energy decreases.
(iii) If there is no work done by the force on the body then there is no change in its kinetic energy, which means that the body has moved at constant speed provided its mass remains constant.
(iv) When a particle moves with constant speed in a circle, there is no change in the kinetic energy of the particle. So according to work energy principle, the work done by centripetal force is zero.

Assertion : When Air is blow on a plastic cover, lying on the floor. If flies to a particular height in different directions. Also It's energy at different positions keep changing. Reason : Work done by the force on the body changes the kinetic energy of the body. This is called Work - Energy Theorem. i.e., W = Delta K.E.
