Overview of the chapter
To study this chapter efficiently first you have to understand all the definitions and terminologies, given the chapters and try to interpret them in a very logical way. You must be good at basic laws like the law of energy conservation and theorems like a work-energy theorem Because you might get conceptual questions based on these laws And theorems. You will get various real-life application based problems on the concept like a work-energy theorem, law of energy conservation, Collision, Power.
For example, let's have a look question which is based on real-life activities and was asked in jee main 2016 from this chapter.
Q- A person who is trying to lose weight by burning his fats lifts a mass of 10 kg 1000 times up to a height of 1 m. And also assume that the potential energy lost each time he lowers the mass is dissipated. By considering the work done only when the weight is lifted up then tell How much fat will he use up? ( If Fat supplies 3.8× J of energy on burning 1 kg fat which is converted to mechanical energy with a 20% efficiency rate. )
To solve these questions you first find work done by the person in lifting the weight
Which is equal to W=mgh
Which is equal to E
Then find Total fat burn by dividing W by E
Which is equal to
First, you should have good command over the concepts of Work Power and Energy and you should also know how to apply them well at the time of the entrance exam or while solving questions. Entrance 360 will help you to understand each concept from this chapter since it provides you theory, questions with solutions and video lectures on each important concepts. For each concept practice enough problems so that you are through with the concept. Take mock test and practice previous year questions. Through practice, you will come to know how to approach a question. There are direct formulas that can be applied to certain questions.
To Solve Work Power Energy Problems
Books
For Work Power and Energy chapter concepts in NCERT is enough and practice questions which are asked in previous questions and you can follow other standard books available for JEE preparation like Concepts of Physics (H. C. Verma) and Understanding Physics by D. C. Pandey (Arihant Publications). You don't have to study the whole book to understand the concept from this chapter because Entrance 360 will provide you exact page number and line number of these books where you will get these concepts to read.
If the b/w two molecules is given by

A body of mass 2kg is driven by an engine delivering a constant power of 1J/s. The body starts from rest and moves in a straight line. After 9s, the body has moved a distance (in m) ___.
A person pushes a box on a rough horizontal surface. He applies a force of 200N over a distance of 15m. Thereafter, he gets progressively tired and his applied force reduces linearly with distance to 100N. The total distance through which the box has been moved is 30m. What is the work done by the person during the total movement of the box?
