Why is work=F*d? Derrive without using kinetic energy = square of speed times half of mass.
Isnt work just defined to be dW=Fdr?
>>8566105
for some processes yes.
>>8566103
For a conservative force it is the - gradient of the potential. Literally calc 3
Well, you get that kinetic energy formula from using the definition of work. Work is a definition. Do we need to derive it? Why and from what?

>>8566103
It's by definition.
W = int(f dr)
(No latex from phone)
In your specific case, the force is constant along the whole path, and therefor the integral can be simplified.

>(No latex from phone)
No you're just too lazy.
[eqn]W = \int \vec{F} \; dr[/eqn]
>>8566204
That formula is wrong. You have a vector on one side and a scalar on the other.
>>8566180
I'm sure OP is grateful you did his homework for him.
>>8566208
>implying there isnt a hypothetical dot product from the integral
>>8566208
I doubt faggot OP knows what a line integral is.

this is all there is
>>8566303
A "Dark" dot product, if you will.
>>8566303
>Implying the dr isn't a vector just because it doesn't conform to the same vector notation used by the rest of the formula
>>8566474
So what's your point? That doesn't make the equation any less wrong.
Op here, I don't know integrals and calc.
>>8566971
You will not understand the origin of the equations you encounter in basic physics without calc.
This is why the "algebra-based" physics meme needs to die.

Says the undergrad.
>>8566208
[math]W = \int \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r} [/math]
>>8566208
No there isnt. You have the magnitude of the force times the distance equal the work (scalar)

You know what I meant.
By definition?
>>8567151
beautiful. Now replace the equality with := and /thread
