Prove work-energy theorem for a constat force
Answers
Let us consider an object of mass m which is moving under the influence of constant force F. From Newton’s second law of motion:
F = ma
Where,
a = acceleration of the object
The velocity of the object increases from v1 to v2 due to the acceleration, and the object displaces by a distance d.
v22−v12=2ad, or
a = (v22−v12)/2d, or
Now we have,
F = m (v22−v12)/2d, or
Fd = m (v22−v12)/2d, or
Fd = ½ m.v22 – ½ m v12 -------(i)
Fd is the work done by the force F to move the object through a distance d.
In equation (i), the quantity
K2 = m.v22/2, is the final Kinetic energy of the object, and the quantity
K1=mv12/2
Is the initial Kinetic of the object
Thus equation (i) becomes
W=K2-K1=ΔK------(ii)
Where,
ΔK = change in KE of the object.
From equation (ii), it is clear that the work done by a force on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.
