Kinetic Energy — Quiz

Question 5 • Physics

Which best summarizes a concept related to the work-energy theorem?

Answer
A
When work is positive, the environment does work on an object.
B
When work is negative, the kinetic energy in a system remains constant.
C
When work is positive, the kinetic energy in a system remains constant.
D
When work is negative, the environment does work on an object.

Explanation

The work-energy theorem states that net work on an object equals its change in kinetic energy. Positive work transfers energy to the object and increases its kinetic energy, so the environment does work on it. Negative work removes kinetic energy from the object, rather than keeping it constant.
