Does an object gain energy if work increases?

Answer 1

Work is the energy when a force is moved through a distance.

Thus work is another name for change in mechanical energy.

When work is done on an object, it implies energy is given to the object.

if we do work, i.e., if we apply a force and move the force through some distance we are said to do some work.

We loose energy and the object gains energy. If the object in turn do not spend its energy then its energy increases.

When we rub two objects, we do work on them. The energy is gained by the objects. It seen from the rise of temperature of the two objects. If the two objects loose energy then their enegy is given to the surroundings.

Answer 2

Depends on the agent doing work. If an external agent is doing work on the object against some force field, then potential energy increases but if there is no force field the increase in energy will be kinetic.
Now, if work is done by the object then its energy will decrease in an attracting force field( if object approaches source of the field) and it'll increase if it approaches a source of repelling force field.

Answer 3

Another classical physics definition, is that

Work = Change in Kinetic Energy.

So if work increases, KE increases and the object does indeed gain energy.

Answer 4

hey dude! check out tht energy itself is conserved.when you you work upon object you give energy from outside.which adds to initial energy of object.

Answer 5

If the work is applied to the object then yes.

Answer 6

E=MCxC
Energy = Mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light.
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

Answer 7

not for me

I gain energy when I see some chances for sex, otherwise nope.
