NEET Physics Work-Energy Theorem MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Which of the following statements about the Work-Energy Theorem is correct?

A

The Work-Energy Theorem relates the change in kinetic energy to the work done by all forces.

B

The theorem states that work done is always positive regardless of the direction of force.

C

The Work-Energy Theorem applies only to conservative forces and not to non-conservative forces.

D

The theorem integrates the instantaneous force over time to determine work done.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The Work-Energy Theorem connects the change in kinetic energy to the work done by forces acting on an object, as indicated in the NCERT context. Option B misrepresents that work done can be negative, while option C incorrectly restricts the theorem to conservative forces. Option D incorrectly states that it integrates over time instead of position.
