Solution
Correct Answer:
Kinetic energy
The Work-Energy Theorem states that the work done by the net force (sum of all forces) acting on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy: Wnet=ΔK=Kfinal−Kinitial
- Positive net work increases kinetic energy (speed up).
- Negative net work decreases kinetic energy (slow down).
- This theorem applies even for variable forces and curved paths.
This easy difficulty physics question is from the chapter work, energy and power, covering the topic of work-energy theorem. It appeared in the 2025 exam.
