Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

The work-energy theorem states that the change in

A

kinetic energy of a particle is equal to the work done on it by the net force

B

kinetic energy of a particle is equal to the work done by one of the forces acting on it

C

potential energy of a particle is equal to the work done on it by the net force

D

potential energy of a particle is equal to the work done by one of the forces acting on it.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The work-energy theorem states that the change in kinetic energy of a particle is equal to the work done on it by the net force. i.e., Kₑ - K = Wₙₑₜ
