Undergrad Work Energy Theorem and Potential Energy violation?
this thing has been bothering me for a long time what I had in mind was this situation: If we throw a rock from the ground to the top of a building then it's kinetic energy has clearly increased but it just stays on the roof of the building so the increase in kinetic energy has become...- mihirviveka

Undergrad Work Energy Theorem and Potential Energy violation?
Maybe we should view the situation in this way? since the object was moved a certain distance by a force work was done on it so its kinetic energy has increased but since it stays at that height the kinetic energy becomes potential energy?- mihirviveka
