Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Scalar Product and the Idea of Work

  • The scalar product or dot product of two vectors gives a scalar quantity.
  • Work in physics depends on the component of force along displacement.
  • If force and displacement are perpendicular, work is zero.
2

2. Work-Energy Theorem

  • The change in kinetic energy of a particle equals the work done on it by the net force.
  • For constant force, the theorem follows from the kinematic relation v^2 - u^2 = 2as.
  • For variable force, the theorem is written using integration.
3

3. Work Done by Constant Forces

  • Work depends on force, displacement, and the angle between them.
  • If displacement is zero, work is zero even if force is large.
  • If force is zero, work is zero even if displacement is large.
4

4. Kinetic Energy

  • Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
  • It is always a scalar quantity.
  • It depends on mass and the square of speed.
