Answer:


W=K_f -K_i = (1)/(2)mv_f^2 -(1)/(2)mv_i^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the amount of work done is equal to the variation of kinetic energy of the object, therefore:


W=K_f -K_i = (1)/(2)mv_f^2 -(1)/(2)mv_i^2

Where:

m is the mass of the object


v_i is the initial velocity of the object


v_f is the final velocity of the object
