Q A block of mass m is raised from the floor to the surface of a table h metres high now initially the the kinetic enrgy was zero and finally the kinetic energy is again zero.Then what about the work done?Because work-energy theorem says that "change in kinetic energy is the work done."

Question

devashish trivedi · Answer

Work - energy theorem still holds here net work done is still zero because external agent is also working here against the gravity and the

gravity is doing the negetive work done here and external agent is doing the positive work done but in equal amount so the net work done will be

zero here. And the "mgh" is the work done only by the external agent that is accounted in the question.
