State and prove work energy theorem in case of rectilinear motion under constant acceleration. |
|
Answer» work energy theorem state that change in kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on it by the net force W = Kf - ki where kf = final kinetic energy ki = initial kinetic energy for rectilinear motion and constant acceleration. v2 - u2 = 2as......(1) where v = final speed, u = initial speed. multiplying equation (1) both side by \(\cfrac{m}2\) \(\cfrac{1}2\)mv2 - \(\cfrac{1}2\)mu2 = \(\cfrac{m}2\) .2 as \(\because\) F = ma \(\cfrac{1}2\)mv2 - \(\cfrac{1}2\)mu2 = F.s \(\because\) W = F.s then \(\cfrac{1}2\)mv2 - \(\cfrac{1}2\)mu2 = W Kf - ki = W work is done by a force on the body over a certain displacement. The change in kinetic energy of a particle is equal to the work done on it by the net force. |
