Question

Does a single external force acting on a particle necessarily change its kinetic energy ? Explain ?

Solution

Dear Student,

No, not necessarily. If only single force is acting and it is perpendicular to the velocity of body then it will not change the velocity. Thus, no effect on kinetic energy.
