Primarygun Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Up to this moment, I started to learn some concepts in work-theorem. I am not sure what can this theorem bring us, can anyone tell me the uses of this theorem apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsatan Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Its just to work out how much energy is required to do a job. EG lift something 1M off the ground, or push it 1m to the side against friction, I tyhink that what you are wanting to know., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primarygun Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 How does it contribute greatly to physics? I know it does but I am just learning very basic things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 "work" is just another term for energy expended over time. "Work" itself has no quantative value. and may aquire several different meanings within the contexts of discussion. and yes it`s VERY Important in Physics! "Work" in all it`s manifestations is critical to your lessons and understanding ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Work is quite important in just about every science. Or not. Well, in some anyway. And it's important in cars and such too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
