NEET Physics Work-Energy Theorem MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the Work-Energy Theorem is correct?
The work done by a conservative force depends only on the initial and final positions of an object.
The work done by a non-conservative force depends only on the path taken by the object.
The Work-Energy Theorem states that work done is independent of the force applied.
The kinetic energy of an object is affected by the angle of inclination of the path taken.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the Work-Energy Theorem, the work done by a conservative force, such as gravity, depends solely on the initial and final positions, as stated in the context. Non-conservative forces, however, can depend on the path taken.
