To understand the meaning and possible applications of the work-energy theorem. in this problem, you will use your prior knowledge to derive one of the most important relationships in mechanics: the work-energy theorem. we will start with a special case: a particle of mass m moving in the x direction at constant acceleration a. during a certain interval of time, the particle accelerates from ve to vf, undergoing displacement is given by s=xf−xi.

Acar travels along a highway with a velocity of 24 m/s, west. the car exits the highway; and 4.0 s later, its instantaneous velocity is 16 m/s, 45° north of west. what is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the car during the four-second interval?

Ametal ball with a mass of 0.028 kg is dropped from rest at a height of 1.0 meters above the ground. assuming the energy in the ball is conserved, how much kinetic energy will the ball have when it is 0.5 meters above the ground?
