Total work is change in kinetic energy ====================================== The work-energy principle states that the work done by all forces acting on a particle (the work of the resultant force) equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.dynamics.total_work_is_change_in_kinetic_energy .. py:data:: work The total :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.basic.work` done on the body.
