If you want to apply the "Work - KE" theorem, you must use the net force on the body. That net force must include gravity.xmjolx said:Given some body with a constant force F acting on it upwards
(The body is subject to the gravitational force due to the earth)
What's the correct statement?
Or:
K - Kinetic Energy

Yes.xmjolx said:Sois the right statement?
The relationship between force and motion is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This means that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration, and the heavier the object, the less it will accelerate for a given force.
A constant force acting on an object will cause it to accelerate at a constant rate. This means that the object's velocity will change by the same amount in each unit of time, resulting in a linear increase in its speed.
Yes, the direction of the force is an important factor in determining the object's motion. If the force is applied in the same direction as the object's motion, it will increase its speed. However, if the force is applied in the opposite direction, it will cause the object to slow down or even change direction.
If there are multiple forces acting on an object, the net force can be calculated by adding together all the individual forces. The resulting net force will determine the acceleration of the object. If the forces are equal and opposite, the object will remain at a constant velocity.
Yes, a constant force can result in a change in an object's direction if the direction of the force is not aligned with the object's initial motion. This is because the resulting acceleration will cause the object to change its velocity, resulting in a change in direction.
