Answer:
Distance and kinetic
Step-by-step explanation:
The work-energy theorem states that a force acting on a particle as it moves over a distance changes the kinetic energy of the particle if the force has a component parallel to the motion.
The work-energy theorem states:
"The work done by the force on a particle is equal to the change in the kinetic energy"
W = ΔKE
Lets prove it mathematically,
The work done is given by
W = F*d
From Newton's second law
F = ma
W = ma*d
From the equations of kinematics
Vf² = Vi² + 2ad
2ad = Vf² - Vi²
d = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a
W = ma*(Vf² - Vi²)/2a
a cancels out
W = 1/2m*(Vf² - Vi²)
W = 1/2mVf² - 1/2mVi²
W = ΔKE
Hence proved.
