Question

The work-energy theorem states that a force acting on a particle as it moves over a ______ changes the ______ energy of the particle if the force has a component parallel to the motion.a. distance / potential
b. distance / kinetic
c. vertical displacement / potential
d. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance and kinetic

Explanation:

As the name implies, the work energy theorem gives the relationship between the work done and the kinetic energy of an object. It states that a force acting on a particle as it moves over a distance changes the kinetic energy of the particle if the force has a component parallel to the motion.

Hence, the options are (a) distance and (b) kinetic.
