MathLiveWork-energy theorem
The net work done on an object equals the change in its kinetic energy. It is used to relate forces acting over a displacement to the resulting change in an object's speed.
W=\Delta E_{k}=E_{k_{2}}-E_{k_{1}}What the symbols mean
| net work done on the object (J) | |
| change in kinetic energy of the object (J) | |
| initial kinetic energy (J) | |
| final kinetic energy (J) |
