  1. Correct Answer – D
    The work – energy theorm states that
    `W_(“net”) = Delta K = K_(f) – K_(i)` Thus `W_(“net”) = 0` then `K_(f) – K_(i) or (1)/(2) mv_(f)^(2) – (1)/(2) mv_(i)^(2)`, which leads to the conclusion that the speed is unchanged `(v_(f) – v_(i))`. The velocity
    of the partical involves both magnitude (speed) and direction. The work energy theorem shows that the magnitude or speed is unchanged when `W_(“net”) = 0` but makes no statement about the direction of the velocity.
