Question

Drive formula w=∆k w= work. K= kinetic energy

Answer 1

Answer:

For the sake of simplicity, we will consider the case in which the resultant force F is constant in both magnitude and direction and is parallel to the velocity of the particle. The particle is moving with constant acceleration a along a straight line. The relationship between the net force and the acceleration is given by the equation F = ma (Newton’s second law), and the particle’s displacement d, can be determined from the equation:

The work of the net force is calculated as the product of its magnitude (F=ma) and the particle’s displacement. Substituting the above equations yields:
