Identify the correct statement about work energy theorem This question has multiple correct options

  • A. work done by all the conservative forces is equal to the decrease in potential energy.
  • B. work done by all the forces except the conservative forces is equal to the change in mechanical energy.
  • C. work done by all the forces is equal to the change in kinetic energy.
  • D. work done by all the forces is equal to the change in potential energy.

Step-by-step solution

The work-energy theorem states that the net work done by all forces acting on an object equals the change in its kinetic energy. Options A and B are also true statements but are corollaries of the theorem, not the theorem itself.
