[QUOTE="sophiecentaur, post: 6266422, member: 199289"] In the context of this thread, that statement is 'ok' but there is no inherent relationship between Work and change of KE. The work will change the total of Potential and Kinetic Energy. The longer the time taken, the less KE change will result. Practical note: To obtain exactly zero KE change, the profile of the force over a journey of finite time [I]would not be uniform[/I]. (e.g. you need to slow up near the top and reduce the applied force in an elevator) [/QUOTE]
