Chapter – Work, Power and Energy

1. Work done by constant force:

w = ⃗f ⋅ ⃗S⃗

2. Work done by multiple forces

∑ ⃗F⃗ = ⃗F⃗1 + ⃗F⃗2 + ⃗F⃗3 + ⋯ . .

W = [σf⃗] ⋅ ⃗S⃗
W = ⃗f1 ⋅ S⃗⃗ + F
⃗⃗2 ⋅ S⃗⃗ + F
⃗⃗3 ⋅ S⃗⃗ + ⋯ . .

Or W = W1 + W2 + W3 + ⋯ … …

3. Work done by a variable force

dW = ⃗f ⋅ ds⃗

4. Relation between momentum and kinetic energy

p = mv = linear momentum

5. Potential energy

⃗⃗ ⋅ dr⃗ i.e., U2 − U1 = − ∫    F
U = ∫    du = − ∫    F ⃗⃗ ⋅ dr⃗ = −w
U1 r1 R1

7. Work-energy theorem

WC + WNC + WPS = δK

8. Modified form of work-energy theorem

Wc = −δU
WNC + WPS = δK + δU
WNC + WPS = δE

9. Power
the average power (P‾ or Pav ) delivered by an agent is given by P‾ or
