Frequently asked questions
- What if the force is applied at an angle?
- Only the component along the direction of motion does work. A force at 60° contributes cos(60°) = 0.5 of its magnitude.
- How is work related to energy?
- The work-energy theorem states that net work done on an object equals its change in kinetic energy: W_net = ΔKE.
