Principle of conservation of energy: The energy of the universe cannot be create or destroyed but can be redistributed or change into

different form. That is the total energy of the universe of constant. Work energy theorem: The work energy theorem states, the work done by the resultant force acting on a particle or a system of particle in equal to the change in kinetic energy of the particle of the system. Mathematicallyw = k f -k =

Suppose that, a particle of mass m is moving with a velocity u. A constant force F is applied on the particle and produces an acceleration a then its final velocity becames v and at this the particle moved a distance s in the direction of force.
The work done,

w = FS or, w = mas................................ (i) But, from equation of motion [F= ma]

v = u +2as or, 2as = v - u
