Good Afternoon
Is it correct to calculate the force of a point charge by relating the force to the kinetic energy and this with its derivative? I have the graphic V/r (Velocity Vs Space), want to calculate force, relate work with force in this way: W=ΔEk, in my case the kinetic energy initial is zero, W=(-1/2)mVo^2.
So W= int(F.ds) ------> ((-1/2)mVo^2)/(ΔS)= F.
I'm not sure about this last step, specifically when deriving (-1/2)mVo^2 = int (F.ds)
Thanks
