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:

\(K{\left(t \right)}\)

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:

\[W = K{\left(t_{1} \right)} - K{\left(t_{0} \right)}\]
