Question

Enter a one- or two-word answer that correctly completes the following statement. If the constant force is applied over a given distance D, along the path of the particle, then the _____ of the particle will increase by FD.

Answer 1

Energy.

Recall that Work is defined as\[W = \vec F \cdot \vec d\]

From the Work-Energy Theorem, \[W = \Delta KE + \Delta PE\]

Therefore, \[\Delta Energy = \vec F \cdot \vec d\]
