Concept:

  • The work done by a force is defined as: The product of the component of the applied force on the block in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement is called work done.
  • The work-energy theorem is also called the principle of work and kinetic energy.
  • The work-energy theorem states that the total work done by all the forces is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the particle.
  • Total work done = change in kinetic energy

⇒ Total work done (W) = KEf – KEi

\(⇒ W = \frac{1}{2}m\;{v^2} - \frac{1}{2}m\;{u^2}\)

Where KEf is final kinetic energy, KEi is initial kinetic energy, u is initial velocity and V is the final velocity

  • For a variable force, the work-energy theorem is given by:

\(⇒ Work\;done\;\left( W \right) = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_{{x_1}}^{{x_2}} F.\;dx = \frac{1}{2}m\;{V^2} - \frac{1}{2}m\;{v^2}\)

Explanation:

  • From the above-given explanation, we can see that the relation between kinetic energy and work is given by the work-energy theorem
  • And according to the work-energy theorem Work done, W = ΔK.E
  • From this, we can see that if work done on an object increases then the Kinetic energy associated with it will also increase. Hence option 2 is correct
