If force is applied to the car, but the car doesn’t move:

No work has been done

2
New cards

This can be seen in the formula W=FD where:

Zero distance(d) results in work(w) being zero as well

3
New cards

No matter how much force is applied:

No movement results in zero work being accomplished

4
New cards

Note that work and kinetic energy are both measured in:

Joules

5
New cards

This is not a coincidence, as any work that is done to accelerate an object at rest to velocity v will be converted:

Into kinetic energy of that object

6
New cards

Work Energy Theorem:

The net work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy
