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.

work¶: The total work done on the body.

Symbol:: W
Latex:: $W$
Dimension:: energy

kinetic_energy¶: The kinetic_energy of the body as a function of time.

Symbol:: K(t)
Latex:: $K (t)$
Dimension:: energy

time_before¶: The time before the work has been done.

Symbol:: t_0
Latex:: $t_{0}$
Dimension:: time

time_after¶: The time after the work has been done.

Symbol:: t_1
Latex:: $t_{1}$
Dimension:: time

law¶

W = K(t_1) - K(t_0)

Latex:: $W = K (t_{1}) - K (t_{0})$
