6.1 State the Work – Energy theorem.
The Work-Energy theorem states that the net work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.
$$W_{net} = \Delta K$$
6.2 Draw a labelled free body diagram to show all the focus acting on the car whilst it is moving up the incline with a constant speed of $10 \text{ m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$.
The free body diagram for the car moving up the incline includes the following forces:
• Applied Force ($F_{app}$): The force exerted by the engine, acting parallel to the incline, upwards.
• Gravitational Force ($F_g$ or $mg$): The weight of the car
