What does “Work” actually mean in Work, Energy & Power, and why does it matter for JEE?

energy transferred by a force: W = F·d·cosθ, where θ is the angle between force and displacement.

I keep getting “Work” questions wrong in Work, Energy & Power. What's the trap?

forgetting the cosθ — a force perpendicular to the motion does zero work.

What does “Work–energy theorem” actually mean in Work, Energy & Power, and why does it matter for JEE?

the net work done on a body equals its change in kinetic energy.

I keep getting “Work–energy theorem” questions wrong in Work, Energy & Power. What's the trap?

using only one force's work instead of the net work.

What does “Conservation of mechanical energy” actually mean in Work, Energy & Power, and why does it matter for JEE?

when only conservative forces act, KE + PE stays constant.

I keep getting “Power” questions wrong in Work, Energy & Power. What's the trap?

confusing power (how fast work is done) with energy (the total work).
