Work-Energy Principle
Formula:W = ΔK = Kf - Ki
Introduction to Work-Energy Principle
The Work-Energy Principle states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. In this formula, Wrepresents the work done on the object, ΔKrepresents the change in kinetic energy, and Kfand Kirepresent the final and initial kinetic energies, respectively.
Parameter usage:
kineticEnergyFinal
= final kinetic energykineticEnergyInitial
= initial kinetic energy
Output:
work
= work done on the object
Data validation
The values of kinetic energy should be real numbers.
Summary
This formula provides a direct relationship between the work done on an object and the change in its kinetic energy, following the principle of conservation of energy.
