Re: ENERGY WITH Q



From: "Jim Green" <JMGreen@SISNA.COM>:
Now N#3 says that the F on the system in question = -F on the applicator

Thus the work done on the system = - the work done on the applicator.

And it then follows that energy increase of the system = the decrease of
the energy of the applicator. Total KE is conserved -- always -- even
for a
complicated interaction with multiple particles.
