Detailed Solution

Work : The dot product of force and displacement is called as work.
 Work =w=F¯S¯
W = F S Cosθ
Case I :    θ=0 W=FScos0=FS Case I :    θ=90° W=FScos90=0
Case III : θ=180
W = – FS cos180 = -FS
Kinetic Energy :
The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy.
KE=12mv2
Work-Energy Theorem :
The work done is equal to change in its KE
 i.e. W=12mv212mu2
Proof : Let mass of a body is m moving with initial velocity u be acted on by a force F and its final velocity is V.
Question Image
Initial Velocity = u
Final Velocity = V
Time Taken by the body = t
Distance travelled by the body = S
From v2u2=2as
a=v2u22s  ...(1)
Workdone = W = FS
But F = ma
W=mas  ...(2)
Eqn (1) is substituting in eqn (2)
W=m×v2u22S×SW=12mv2u2W=12mv212mu2W= final KE - Initial KE
i.e. workdone W = Change in KE
Hence work-energy theorem is proved.
