SECTION -D (Case based questions)

The work-energy theorem states that – the change in the kinetic energy of a body is
29 equal to the work done by the net force. In deriving the theorem, it is assumed that force
is effective only in changing the KE. When the force and displacement are in the same
direction, KE increases and work done is positive. When the force and displacement are
in opposite directions, KE decreases and work done is negative. When the body is in
uniform motion, KE does not change and work done by force is zero.

30 An isothermal process is one in which pressure and volume of the system change
