-
let me make a trip in the xy plane
-
made up of a whole bunch of little segments
-
in each one of which I calculate this, and I add them all up.
-
On the left-hand side, the ΔKs,
-
this whole thing was defined so that it's equal to ΔK, right?
-
ΔK was equal to this, that's equal to all that.
-
So, if you add all the ΔKs, it's very clear what you will get.
-
You will get the kinetic energy at the end
-
minus kinetic energy at the beginning.
-
On the right-hand side,
-
you are told to add F·dr for every tiny segment.
-
Well, that is written symbolically as this.
