-
And unless you specify the path you cannot do the integral,
-
because you don't know what contour you want to draw.
-
Therefore, the answer in general depends on the path,
-
but this right-hand side does not.
-
So, if you pick the same two endpoints
-
and you vary that path into this one,
-
the right-hand side doesn't change,
-
but it's not hard to imagine
-
the left-hand side would be different.
-
Therefore, in general this will not be true.
-
So, even though there's a relation between work done
-
and increase in kinetic energy,
