Which theorem states that the work done by all forces acting on a particle is equal to the change in its kinetic energy?

A. Work-Energy Theorem✓ Correct Answer
B. Gauss's Theorem
C. Bernoulli's Theorem
D. Amperian Theorem

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Work-Energy Theorem dictates that the total net work performed on a physical particle equals the exact resulting modification in its kinetic energy. Distractors like Gauss's theorem apply to electrostatics and electric flux rather than mechanical work dynamics. This theorem simplifies complex force calculations by linking displacement directly to scalar energy states.
