To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of . The work done by the force causes the kinetic energy change.'

The force is as a function of Distance

Explanation:

The force and distance must be parallel to each other. Only the component of the force in the same direction as the distance traveled does any work. Hence, if a force applied is perpendicular to the distance traveled, no work is done. The equation becomes force times distance times the cosine of the angle between them.

where both the force F and acceleration are vectors. This makes sense since both force and acceleration have a direction.

On the other hand, the kinetic energy

K=12mv2

looks completely different. It doesn't seem to depend on the direction.

e) none of the above answers are correct

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
