Work Formulae
Positive, negative, zero, constant-force, variable-force, graph and spring work.
Sign of Work
W = Fs cos thetaPositive if theta < 90 degrees, negative if theta > 90 degrees, zero if theta = 90 degrees.
Variable Force
W = ∫x1x2 F(x) dxFor changing force, use integration or graph area.
Spring
Wexternal = 1/2 kx2Work by spring during stretch is negative: -1/2kx2.
Energy Formulae
Kinetic, potential, spring, conservative and non-conservative energy relations.
Kinetic Energy
K = 1/2 mv2Doubling speed makes KE four times.
Potential Energy
U = mghDepends on chosen zero level.
Non-conservative Work
Wnc = Δ(K+U)Friction reduces mechanical energy.
Collisions
KE loss = heat + sound + deformationMomentum may remain conserved while KE changes.
Conservation
K1 + U1 = K2 + U2Use when no friction or external loss.
Friction Loss
Wf = -f sFor kinetic friction on a path of length s.
Power Formulae
Average, instantaneous, lifting, vehicles, machines, horsepower and efficiency.

|---|---|---|
| Average power | P = W/t | 500 J in 10 s gives 50 W |
| Instantaneous power | P = dW/dt | If W=t2, P=2t |

Roller coaster: Passage and Questions
Answers and Detailed Explanation: Use mgh = 1/2 mv2. Speed = sqrt(2gh) on a smooth track. GPE converts to KE. Friction reduces speed. Loop condition needs sufficient speed at top.
Spring compression: Passage and Questions
Answers and Detailed Explanation: Smooth case: 1/2 mv2 = 1/2 kx2. With friction, subtract f x. Spring graph area is triangular.
Car braking: Passage and Questions
Answers and Detailed Explanation: F s = 1/2 mv2. Distance is proportional to v2. Brakes do negative work and convert KE into heat.
Lift power: Passage and Questions
Answers and Detailed Explanation: Useful work = Mgh. Useful power = Mgh/t. Input power = useful power/eta.
Collisions: Passage and Questions
Answers and Detailed Explanation: Use momentum for common speed. KE loss becomes heat, sound and deformation.
Hydroelectric conversion: Passage and Questions
Answers and Detailed Explanation: Available power = rgh. Output = eta rgh. GPE becomes KE then electrical energy.
Work by friction: Passage and Questions
Answers and Detailed Explanation: Friction work = -mu mg s. Stopping distance from mu mg s = 1/2 mv2.
Quick Revision Notes
Final compact checklist before exam.
Most Important Formulas
- W = Fs cos theta
- W = ∫F dx
- K = 1/2mv2
- U = mgh and 1/2kx2
- P = W/t = Fv
Graph Areas
- Area under F-x = work
- Area under P-t = energy
- Slope of U-x gives -F
- Positive and negative areas cancel algebraically
NEET Shortcuts
- Use energy for speed after height change
- Use Wnet = Delta K for force-distance
- For constant speed, net work is zero
- Efficiency always less than 1 for ordinary machines
JEE Traps
- Variable force requires integration
- Friction path length matters
- Spring force is not constant
- Collision KE is not always conserved
Common Mistakes
- Forgetting cos theta
- Using kg instead of newton
- Mixing work and power
- Using fake KE conservation in inelastic collision
Units and Checklist
- Work/Energy: joule
- Power: watt
- Efficiency: no unit
- Dimension of energy: ML2T-2
- Check signs before final answer
