If the angle between the net force and the displacement of an
object is greater than 90 degrees, then which option holds
true?
aThe object stops
b Kinetic energy decreases
C Kinetic energy increases
d Kinetic energy remains the same

Answer :

Answer: kinetic energy decreases

Explanation:

Onyebuchinnajigo

When the angle between the net force and the displacement of an

object is greater than 90 degree, the Kinetic energy decreases.

The work done by a net force in moving an object over a given distance is given as;

[tex]W = F \times d \ cos(\theta)[/tex]

where;

  • θ is the angle between the net force and the displacement

The value of cos(θ) decreases from 0 to 180, consequently, the value of work-done will decrease as well.

Based on work-energy theorem, the work done on the object is equal to kinetic energy of the object.

[tex]W = K.E[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that when the angle increases, the Kinetic energy decreases.
