- C. Work done equals mass times acceleration
- D. Work is always conserved
Answer: B. The net work done on a body equals the change in its kinetic energy
The work-energy theorem states that the net work done by all forces on a body equals the change in its kinetic energy: W_net = ฮKE = ยฝmvยฒ - ยฝmuยฒ.
