The effect of work done is equal to

Correct answer: B. Change in kinetic energy

  • A. Change in total energy
  • B. Change in kinetic energy
  • C. Change in power
  • D. None of these options are correct

Explanation

The work-energy theorem states that the net work done by the forces on an object equals the change in its kinetic energy. The net work done on a particle equals the change in the particle's kinetic energy.

About Work-Energy Theorem

The work-energy theorem states that the net work done on an object equals its change in kinetic energy. Questions involve positive and negative work, variable forces and force-displacement graphs, acceleration or deceleration, and the difference between this theorem and conservation of mechanical energy, which also requires attention to potential energy and non-conservative work.
