Calculate Net Work





Formula

The formula to calculate the net work performed on an object is:

\[ W = \frac{1}{2} m v_f^2 - \frac{1}{2} m v_i^2 \]

Where:

What is Net Work?

Net work is defined as the total change in work performed by the forces acting on an object.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ W = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5^2 - \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 2^2 = 125 - 20 = 105 \text{ J} \]

The Net Work is 105 J.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ W = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times 7^2 - \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times 3^2 = 367.5 - 67.5 = 300 \text{ J} \]

The Net Work is 300 J.
